I've fairly recently reached level 60 on my first hardcore character. I play a monk.
Currently I'm farming Act 3 Hell, but being a player focused around progression rather than farming, my mind is constantly in Inferno. Given the ease I farm with I'm fairly certain I could steamroll Act 4, but until I decide to start doing Inferno, I don't see a reason.
Thus my question; What kind of stats should I be looking at before venturing into Inferno? Currently my stats are as follows:
Health: 31566
Armor: 5300 (With Hard Target) resulting in 63,86% damage reduction
All res: 562 resulting in 65,2% damage reduction
Dodge: 40,2% (With Mantra of Evasion)
Life on hit: 891
Life on spirit spend: 61,2 (before Transcendence)
What should I improve? My weapon is fairly low on damage (415 dps), but has 800 LoH and 61,2 Life on spirit spend. Currently I'm not even close to struggling, but given it's hardcore I'd rather be safe than sorry before going on.
Those defensive stats sound pretty good for Act 1 Inferno, at least. You'd have to be really on the ball and always aware (since an unlucky desecrator/waller combo could cripple you), but it'd be doable.
I'd want to increase my weapon DPS, definitely. Inferno mobs take ages to kill if you have a 400 DPS weapon. You'd be struggling with enrages a fair bit I'd imagine, and of course the faster a mob goes down, the less chance it has to catch you off guard and kill you.
So in general: get a better weapon, and get more defenses if at all possible. The more the merrier.
Thanks a lot for the feedback! Yea I was suspecting that my damage was what I needed to work on, but confirmation is always good. Hell is like butter, and I haven't done Inferno on anything else than a Demon Hunter (which is a completely different story). I get 787 LoH from my weapon, so getting a higher DPS (600+) with the same amount of LoH will be tough, but I should be able to get a decent LoH (500 - 600 total) with other pieces upgraded.
Just as a comparison, I play my Monk without LoH at the moment. My Resistances and Armor are a little bit higher than yours and my DPS is way higher (13k at the moment). I have absolutely no problems farming Act1.
What spec u use without LoH just curios??
And for OP, Get a better weapon and u should have no problem, with that damage, u cant kill buther now, if u wanna get there

Actually I do have LoH now (I bought a LoH weapon with socket yesterday). The reason I didn't use LoH was simply because I couldn't afford it.
