Your hp seems a bit low. Not quite sure how you survive with that amount of hp. My guess is that your hp is the reason you haven't cleared act3 yet, so I'd try to improve that asap. Your belt, bracers and helm seems like good places to start buliding your gear stronger.

Your gear is really good, but as I see it you have no LoH or LL, which will affect your sustainability. I think atleast getting LL (you seem to be past the break point for LL vs LoH) would be a good idea, though you prolly know better than me I dont know the feel behind playing a monk geared like that (iJelly).
You aren't bad for just hitting 60 but you need to work on building your chosen resistances + all res for OWE. Also, consider investing in crit and attack speed.
@ Solus -- For "just starting" on gearing your Monk you're in a pretty good spot. The two places i'd tweak are your rings and your helm. Rings you should be able to find with at least 2 out of 3 of Crit % / Attack Speed / Crit Damage + vit/life%, Dex, resist for relatively cheap. As others said above, the Mempo of Twilight is the way to go with the helm. That unfortunately just requires a bankroll or some solid sales in the AH to save up for.
Monk is my main and I'm at the point where I'm running A3 with minimal deaths aside from the occasional bad affix/bad pull. I run a lot with a friend of mine playing Wizard. I know I could pull a little more DPS with another skill, but use Cyclone Strike because it makes runs for the two of us go a lot faster. Open to other build suggestions using my current gear though.
Interesting build, but you have two spirit spenders (three if you count overawe spam, and overawe spam is great for damage especially in parties, but pretty graphically boring), if you like cyclone strike (and it's a great skill for pulling mobs off of your ranged DPS buddies, unlike lashing tail kick which is super annoying) you should probably drop seven sided strike for blinding flash/rune of your choice or breath of heaven/blazing wrath so you can focus on cyclone strike more.
Six sense is potentially interesting but going two x 1hander + guardian's path is better if you're doing dodge spec (also mantra of evasion but overawe is so good, there is literally no comparison). Do the math in a EHPS calculator though and you might find you end up increasing your EHPS goes up with seize the initiative more than six sense (+10% dodge = +10% EPS, compared to 1740 armour, the two are comparable, but it all depends on your other stats, given your high res and vit, extra armour is going to be exponentially better, plus dodge doesn't work against plague/desecrator).

I am pretty satisfied with my monk at this point, though vitality a bit low. I have 80k buffed dps, but I would like to reach 100k limit on a moderate budget. Can you suggest what pieces to upgrade without too much pain?
One thing I notice right away is that with your current gear, One with Everything isn't needed as you have no prime resist, just resist all. The second thing I notice is that you really don't have much increased Crit chance or damage. For monks, thats where most of our DPS comes from. Some critical hit chance on your rings/necks would go a long way, as would getting a weapon with crit damage increase and a socket. Overall your gear and build looks like you would be very durable, but have low damage output.

first of all, change skills, take out either breadth of heaven or wave of light and relace it with sweeping wind, cyclone
change to dual wield, so u can get more chd, will gain around 5k dps, get around 500+ life on hit
take out one with everything if u r not stacking resist, good alternative is resolve, or just stack 1 resist later on
the neck is pretty bad, low on crit chance and low dex, maybe get a 1.04 ouroboros? will solve most of ur problem
get helm with at leastr 4% crit, dex, socket and other defensive stats

Your amulet was way too expensive. I only had 30M that I just bought for 45$. So I changed my helm and also the amulet for something else that boosted my dps a bit. Then I already had that second weapon to dual weld.
I'm gonna try that in act 3, but now with around 320 resist all, I will need to boost that
300 resist is way too low, try to get more gears with physical resist and use one with everything, since gloves is one of ur best piece, then all other gears, try to get high dex/vit, phy resist, all resist, or replace all resist with crit on bracer, replace the first ring as well
Still cant figure out how to up the DPS. Is it just my weapon? Crit too low? I just dont get it. Any and all item upgrade tips are greatly appriciated.
Any tip that would make my gear/spec able to farm act3 more comfortable would be great)
Don't know what to say to improve your gear muvoxd. I's looks realy good. Must be nice to have the 4 piece inna. Don't need to worry about loosing the stacks...
Hello, I'm looking for some advice on what would be my gear weakest points. Overall I'm happy with it though I think I need more MF. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Drk-1906/hero/1369493
Right now I can farm act 3 with a few deaths to some hard elite packs.
- You seem like a paragon grinder, get a 31% gem in the helm.
- Get a glove with IAS.
- You can get a better Natalyas's Reflection.
In average your monk is very well geared, but right now i think you have way too much defensive stats, resists in special.
In my opnion you should drop a little of survivabilty, like in the bracers for exemple and get a 6% one or a Lacuni with crit.
Your rare ring is way too defensive, you can get one more dps orientated OR you can buy a leorics signet to bost your XP grind.
Another thing is getting a % life steal on one of yours weapons or some sort of health globe increased heal.
My profile johnp#1430. I just played very little before the patch 1.04, I still didn't have the time or gold to gear my monk the way I like it, but i'm open to any good advices.
@ Johnp, your monk has some neat equipment... I wonder how's your survivability? You seem kinda low on HP and on life % absorbed. I'm not at your level though so maybe I can't post any good advices.
Here's my Monkey. Need advice on the next equipment upgrade... I'm looking into Echoing Fury for 1st hand and maybe Vile Ward. I'm sitting on 650 all resists now, had to give away resists to raise the DPS.
@lemonets from what i see is you need more crit hit chance 17% is a bit low try to look for a neck that can give you some. Also its a bit pricy since im not sure what your budget is but get weapons with 80+crit with a socket put a gem in those suckers and your dps with fly.
I spend a good amount of gold and still cant get it to where i would like it (70k+ dps) also am i doing something wrong with LS? because its not working as well as my LOH weapon did but that thing drops my dps by a ton.

Low on funds, but will be upgrading the gems when I have a chance.
looks good for the most part, could use some pants with 2 sockets and bracer with 6% crit, vit, dex, fire resist, just omit aR on this one
