What is the general consensus regarding mainstat for support monks, or just supports in general really? It seems to me that having intelligence would be much more beneficial than dexterity, since you're not doing any damage anyway. Yet I rarely see anyone actually having intelligence over dexterity on their gear. What gives? Do people not have a WD og wiz to farm intelligence gear on? Though that doesn't explain hellfire amulets having dex...
It's probably not that big a deal, but I'm still curious. Any inputs?
Strength/dexterity is better than intelligence, on every support class. On monk that's even more so the fact than on other classes since you get tons of all resist from Harmony. You can do the math on D3Planner and will see (I did that a while ago but didn't save the characters).
I always go for Vitality on my support monks as main stat. You are not doing damage. Dex gives damage and armor so ot is still good to have on support. Never intelligence for a monk.
