Atm stuck at 50K dps (unbuffed) .SICK and tired of searching AH and putting in data in dps calculator.
I got 2 setups, 1 with 690 LoH Dagger /spear (43K dps,but tbh i don't feel i have LoH at all) and my 50Kdps(Spear/sword)without LoH. I'm really close to comfortably burst down champ packs in Act 3 (allmost able to burst down 1/2 mobs) before all Immune CD's,healthpots,heals and on CD.
I allso a bit more vulnarable then id like to, so id like to keep my res or even better boost it with 100 or so.
I got 14M to spend atm. Please advice... (if YOU got anything i can use, feel free to try sell it to me here )
I would say look at a better dps weapon with similar stats, just a bit of an upgrade. Your amulet could use a BIG upgrade. I mean its stats are awesome, but how can you not find an upgrade with two more stats on it? Dex and more res? That would be an upgrade too. Same with one of the rings. Could have same stats AND more attack spd and/or crit hit/dmg.
Your gear is good, and with those stats I don't understand why your really having any sort of troubles in ACT 3 blowing down the packs, or maybe I'm just misreading you?
I would say try to get helm with the same stats if not better but with a socket with 15+% life gem. Having extra HP made the hugest difference for me.
You dps is awesome, try to find items with double resists and you will less squishy. I have found life on hit for us monks make little difference on elite mobs but the biggest difference on boss fights.
first tip would be to get bigger armor rolls as armor > resist (worth 15% more from enchantress, 50% more from deadly reach and 20% more from hard target). the way they have tuned the game is based around the base armor value on higher item level gear (you are rocking lower item level gear than me).
a socket on the helm is a must, mine is ~ 6-7k HP (or ~ 180-220 vit) which covers a lot of the required vit (means you can find double resist non vit gear with high dext/crit). can also switch the socket for MF when you are doing lower content.
items i would look at upgrading if i were in your position:
bracers - i bought a 6% crit 450 armor double resist roll 70 dext 70 vit for around 3-4 mil (more crit = more tornados = more dmg)
rings - armor / resist rolls
amulet - may want to think about how you may have cornered yourself looking for a direct stat upgrade and;
anything that is not item level 63 or doesn't have an armor roll
in terms of monk you really want to choose a direction with crit/attack speed, i have gone with crit and crit dmg to maximize my tornado damage, though i'm not dual wielding (board sword thunder clapping buffed ~30k dmg 10.5k armor 1.1k resist 47% block 48% dodge 40k hp never die in act3/4/cow level no matter what afflix or mob i get).
I doubt 14m is gonna be enough to upgrade anything substantially at this point. The pieces that stick out to me are your rings and MH (no socket). I'd look for attack speed + crit chance first per Newti's advice and then eventually try to get trifecta rings. A socket in your MH will also be a nice dps boost.
Other than that everything else will be an incremental improvement for most likely monstrous amounts of gold Stuff like getting a similar ammy with stats, more crit/crit dmg on pieces, and increasing resist or getting double resists on pieces.
wihtout a shield your critt chance is low but you have decent critt damage.
defensive you want more resist and keep your health over 40k
gloves - swap vitality for single resist and find more crit chance%
Archon - head 5%+ crit chance Single ress dex +socket (%life)
belt - get more resist on belt you can find up to 80all ress belt and there are wiht +freeze on hit or %Life
amulet - its imba, if you find one wiht dex or single ress 40+.
rings - 1ring ring is ilvl 54! there you find 3+Crit chance and critt dmg. +( single ress / dex )
on theese items i can see you upgrade for more ress and also more damage.
Just baught a ring for 3,4M: 2,3K dps upgrade (lost some vit though)now i need a helm to sort my vita and then coems the weapons
Str:61
Dex:131
Int:61
CHC:2.5
IAS:6
Arc res: 31
Now i need a helm to sort my vita and then comes the weapons. Or mabye a weapon first .. hmm what comes first i guess
I would say look at a better dps weapon with similar stats, just a bit of an upgrade. Your amulet could use a BIG upgrade. I mean its stats are awesome, but how can you not find an upgrade with two more stats on it?
The min/max dmg alone is 650ish dps upgrade according to calculators so in my oppinions its a wicked amulet and not easily replaced. What your describing is not within my budget of 14M
I had the same problem for a long time. I'd sacrifice a little DPS and swap the best amethyst you can afford for 400-500 extra LoH, and boost your resists.
I'm at 830ish AR, with the same armor and amount of life as you. Less DPS (40K) unbuffed, but with 1700 LoH I rarely have any problems in A3/A4
I haven't found anymore upgrades. I did however change my spec a bit:
MoH/ToN and DR/KeenEye, I no longer have any issues in act 3. Unless i meet my "favorite pack": Nightmare,jailer,illusion and top it of with them beeing ranged... They hurt my feeling...and my HP and my pride and my gear.
I found a solution to my problem with gearbtw..
If you ALL could just give me 10M each........ ;_;
I believe you can try to get double crit on both weapons, to improve dps substantially, get more crit %, and watch the video on this forum about how sweeping wind works, then get an amulet or ring that would give u a bit of loh and crit
My humble suggestions would be focus on upgrading your rings and amulet. Like others have said, if you can find an ammy with vit and dex. It will cost you a bit of gold, my guest at least 5 mil if you can find one like yours but with stats. Your rings also could use some upgrading. I aim to try to get each of my rings have 100 LOH, dex, vit and res. Ya its a lot but you get the big bump in the end. Oh one more suggestion would be to upgrade your helmet. I think that is the cheapsest of the things you can upgrade right now. No matter what helm you get make sure its socketed so you can put in an amethest to boost %life. If you can get a helm with a socket, add res all and your stats i would think you would be good to go. Hope it helps.
Really need 900 resists for Act 3 especially as a monk. You dont have cool things like sprint tornadoes and infinite WW that when combined with 1k+ LoH makes you invisible. You can get pinned in where as I cant and a few desecrate mobs or arcane cutters with you in a corner = dead. My Barb has 850 resist all average and even with that Id like to get them over 900 and I have 1500 LoH as a WW/Nado build. I would love to hit 1k resists because I think that would make me unkillable.
Also your life is low but thats because you have 0 Life%. Get a 10% life belt and a helm with socket for another 15% that will boost your HP to probably 40-42k. I have 990 vit and have 43k HP because I have 25% life. Thats a lot of extra health.
How did u manage to reach that dps, i have 35% Cc 402 crit damage 2000 dex and i have the saem dps of u!!
Cant comprehend the dps calculations
Your weapons must be low dps then. It will be a lot easier to get high dps weapons after the patch, some of the legendaries are guaranteed to have high %dmg affix or high crit chance, and low ilvl weapons will be able to roll as high dps as ilvl63 can.

Heres my gear and stats: http://i45.tinypic.com/vqs5kg.jpg
You know what i mean . But did an edit just for you..

maybe link your spec too if you haven't already.

Everything thats a sizable upgrade is 20+ million per item.
I don't have any advice other then wait 1 month and hopefully the gear lvl will increase and the prices will drop. Thats my plan.
I do switch MoE with MoC from time to time.
Follower i use: Enchantress for haste/armor.
And thanks for all the replies sofar. Iw seen some good pointers *cheers*
