Gem prizes are affordable at the moment. I advice you to replace both at weapons with 100%.


I got way better bracers. This one is for low MP farming.

Before it's asked, I used Exalted Soul for speed farming via Tempest Rush.  I find I can fill 250 spirit within 1-2 mob fights.  Then its 49% MS to the next group (which also helps to maintain cyclone without re-cast).

[flolol]

i think there are many affordable chests on the ah that could be an improvement to you. where do you farm? i have never tired TR for speed farming, and there ist not a big difference in our gear.

the damage display seems to be wrong, with echoing fury i am at 77k unbuffed. with lifesteal weapon i drop down to 67k

[Faesrollvtwo]

I'd get rid of that belt and use the chest for the 2 set bonus and possibly replace your second ring, shouldn't be too expensive to get a decent crtchance/as or critdamage/as one with decent amount of dex.

Can't post links yet so search for Faesroll#2693

Got lucky y-day and sold a set chest for 17 mil and bought boots, echoing fury, gloves, amulet and headpiece from it, jumped up about 30k dps, going to save up for inna's chest now or possibly a new MH weapon, any other pointers?

I know my boots don't have movement speed but I tried searching for boots with 220+ dex and movement speed and the prices are out of control. Will buy a new pair of those in the long run but it's not a huge priority

Hi

to Faesroll

I'm not exactly an expert by any means but if I were to critique

Grab yourself a second piece of Inna's - try for the chest piece, yours doesn't look that great - you can get 2 (3?) sockets on Inna's and some attack speed. Seems like an easy 130 dex to pick up

Same goes for your second ring, you could (for example) get another ring with attack speed on it because 34% cd isn't so much and although the 3% cc is nice, I'd rather another 7/8% attack speed (i have no maths to back this up)

Main thing has got to be your main hand weapon, get one with a socket and get another 100% cd gem in there (makes up and then some for your ring).

Your Echoing fury isn't THAT nice either tbh, I'd be tempted to go for two socketed Shenlong's but then you're looking at 100m each

Also your pants aren't really great, but I was searching for some good pants and only found Depth Diggers

Again, I probably have no clue what I'm talking about but I wanted to get my own char rated so I had to try

your gear is quite nice 6/10

You're maybe slightly overshooting the resistances - nearly at 700 including intelligence

Also, you have 2.9% lifesteal, but no life on hit.

From what I know, I would recommend swapping out your rings for some with dex on, I'd try and keep as much of that attack speed and crit chance as you can though. Doing this will allow you to change out The Guardian's Path for something more effective (say, Beacon of Ytar)

Then because you are a Pikachu monk I would say go for 4pc Inna's as your chest and legs aren't really great anyway.

Your dex is very high, but your damage is very low considering. You're missing crit chance off alot of items which will really effect your dps. Also i cant see very much all resistance at all? I find that between 450-600 is fine, but you can only go as low as 450 all res when you have very high DPS and some LS.

you need to swap out that left ring as soon as you can. Then maybe invest in some Fire Walkers.

Hi,

I like your gear but there is definatly room for improvement. First thing I would do if I were you is to get the 2-peice nat bonus through boots+ring, it will cost you a couple of millions so I can understand if you're short on cash. Second you really need to get inna's legs. Those legs are just the best dpslegs in the game and they are even made for the monk, go grab em! Make sure you get with your second resist on them and try to get with 9% AS, but it's not worth the extra 1% if you're short on cash. To make up for the massive resist loss on your legs, go grab a rare chest similiar to your current legs, high all- and second resist. And I do want to recommend the Unity ring, it's awesome. And if you can up your LOH/LS that would be good, but I can see it would be expensive without hurting your dps. I would look on your neck aswell, but got no real tip for you there.

Ps. Attackspeed is awesome.
Pps. Average damage on jewelry is really awesome.

I've been playing this monk for a couple days. What should be my next upgrade? Guess I need more LoH. Amulet? Weapon? Off-hand should have high base attack speed or it doesn't matter? Edit: Just changed both weapons and my necklace, but armory hasn't been updated so far. Hope it does before someone reads my post.

Thanks in advance!

PS: Sorry for not rating the monk above me. I'm still new to the class, but, Nimerah, you gear is great. I would only get some experience bonus for faster paragon leveling. Probably not your focus at the moment.

So this is my build I know it's not great but I don't have any luck with money. I know there is a lot to change but I was wondering if I should change my crit dmg on my ring and neck to atk speed ? And for my weapon if I can't afford LoH+Crit Dmg+Socket wich one should I focus on ? I was planning on buying the full Inna's set (when I have the money) but is it worth it ?

Edited by Shinzak, 04 November 2012 - 02:17 PM.

[CrazyEgoist]

@Shinzak I would try to get more dps and maybe a Won Khim Lau with 20+ % lightning damage they aren't that expensive.
Also why do you have a +42 dex gem in your chest and a crappy gem in your weapon? Go switch them!

This is mine atm, I've found a pretty nice skorn with lifesteal and sold it for 85m and got myself some new equips.
http://eu.battle.net...8/hero/15282749
I'm trying to buy a new whon khim lau with some more lightning damage and base crit, or should I try to get a higher dps weapon?
I want to break the 100k dps unbuffed...

[nigolje]

You could get more dex, especially in your chest armor, with 3 sockets etc. You could alos up your gems, but that says itself. Other than that you should upgrade your primary weapon, no natural crit dmg, and it is a bit slow with 1.2 aps.

This is my monk, I dont have any cash, so cant afford a lot. But what sould I focus on first?

I get 102k with the breath of light buff. I'd like to get my dps to 100k base. Any suggestions?

I'm a bit uncertain as to how to go about upgrading my OH weapon, suggestions?

Your damage is over 100k, you could upgrade your belt, meself never had more than my monk's one, but i'd like to drop the shield and go dual-wield, but would have to make radical changes i guess. I have 70mill in the bank, don't want to spend it recklessly tho.

depends on how u feel about the survivability at mp7+, u could try to get inna's temperance with 150+ vit, if you are on budget, getting 8% ias ones aren't a bad option either, since 1% ias is just like 700 dps

can also consider changing ruby to amethyst... (also try to get a good rolled hellfire ring)


here is mine, just bought a few pieces of upgrades over the weekend, http://us.battle.net...1/hero/24318176

was wondering if i need a bit of loh, since i totally dropped loh for life steal

or what kind of eph do i need in order to progress through mp10

Edited by KdLoL, 05 November 2012 - 04:46 PM.

[rathgood]

@KdLoL - I think the 5.4% Life Steal should be fine as it scales better than LoH.  The only thing I can see that may be needed for MP10 progression would be more Armor or HP.  But I'm not sure.  Overall you look rather solid.

Here me: http://us.battle.net...66/hero/3207488

I'd like to get more AR to help increase my survivability in higher MP, but its hard/expensive to find since I took Fire Res as my OWE res.
