Recently swapped from Tempest/Skorn to a 2 hand build, but I'm having problems even on MP6, could someone check me out and advice what to do?
I have about 50m to buy upgrades still, and willing to use every penny to get this working, I was really getting tired of Tempest..
Here is a link to my monk, thanks in advance http://eu.battle.net...2/hero/23861430
Thanks in advance
You appear to be missing a belt. Is that an armory issue or do you not have one equipped? That said, it looks like your resistances are all over the place. I see fire, Cold, and Physical. I'd stick to one since you are using OWE. I'd try and get a Vile Ward or craft some cold/all-res shoulders and then get or craft a duel or single res pair of bracers. That should provide some survivability for MP6.
As for your spec, I prefer Dashing Strike when duel wielding on higher MPs. It's ability to break jailer and get bounce around a champion pack are very helpful. More so when you do not use Serenity.
I have recently started to get into the monk and focussed mainly on defence stats, first for surviveability and second for the sake of costs.
Spend about 15M on gear and perform not bad on MP5 on keywardens, takes time but i stay alive.
But as i havve not much experience and gold, im unsure to what focus on - how much dps i have to maintain to drop some surviveability?
could someone pls also rate Negativity - thanks!
Not bad. A duel res & vitality Vile Ward would provide a good boost to survivability and some extra DPS due to its inate high dex. You are packing a large amount of LoH and LS so I think you could afford to drop the LoH from the amulet for one with 2 or more DPS stats (Average Damage, Cri damage, Crit %, and Attack Speed). A socket in either weapon would go a long way as the extra crit damage % would do well and would benifit your LS more.
Notes - I have two weapons I switch to for higher MPs that are socketed with the 100% crit gems and pack Lfie Steal. I also have a Duel Res Cindercoat sitting in the stash for higher MPs that packs much more Vitality and similar Dex to my current Inna's chest.
@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.
Well, I don't have much to say now that you've posted it. You have a rather good setup going. Only thing I can see is maybe getting a weapon with both crit, socket, and life steal.
I`d say those gloves need resists on them, but you should probably wait untill the prices drop, while you`re legs are pretty decent and double resist is very good picking up a pair with lower initial dex and 2 sockets would be better
I took your advice and replaced my gloves with ones with some minor resists (and more crit & AS%). Then, in a short time period Saturday (~4 hours) the goddess of chance finally smiled upon me and I got: Inna's Radiance, Inna's Temperance, and Laccunni Prowlers to drop. Now I'm trying to decide whats next on my upgrade chain since that kind of tossed any plans out the window. I'm thinking of finding rings/neck with AR or Fire Res.
I really don't see much needing fixing really. You look very solid. The only thing I can think of is trying to find an echoing fury with socket and life steal, which when combined with your LoH would make the higher MPs much easier. 9/10
Looks great. Very nice dps (especially for S& and great defense. Only thing I could see was the helm as you pointed out. It's pretty far behind the quality of the rest of your gear.
The ones issue I can see is that it looks like your total resistance might be a little low, if my calculation is correct, around 450 +/-. I'd suggest trying to get some All-Res on your chest or boots. But, if you DPS is high enough it may not be to major of an issue.

Just upgraded my Offhand to get more crit damage and LoH. Trying to decide which to save up for an upgrade next, the helm or shoulders.
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.
Neivri, you're very solid. If you were to get something with LoH, I'd suggest a weapon, though you'd lose the life steal. Speaking of which, how well does that work for you (life steal)?
As I can't post links yet, en/profile/Rathgood-1666/hero/3207488 (US battle net). I've upgraded a bunch of gear since last time, adding crit and crit damage. Please note that I'm planning on upgrading the emeralds to their highest level, but haven't had the chance yet.
@Neivri: The only thing I notice is that your overall resistance seems low (~580 if I totaled it right), but I try and stay near 700 res all so it might be personal preference.

Also, please note that the current build is one I am experimenting with for Backlash. I use the standard build when farming/progressing.

My Monk: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Rathgood-1666/hero/3207488 Currently trying to decide if I should work on replacing my Fire Res gear with All-res so I can drop OWE or to drop a mint on glove crafting to try and replace mine.

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.

Just upgraded boots/bracers/shoulders (the +12k healing on potions from the boots is insane, 25K Health Potions are very nice)
Looks good to me. Not sure why you refere to it as a Kamikaze monk,. your armor and such seems nice and high.
