I can't express how frustrating and vexing crafting/looting a GREAT and RARE legendary item that DOESN'T MATCH your OWE RESIST is. It makes obtaining useful (or even usable) gear MUCH harder for monks that it is for any other class as it requires matching one more essential item affix.
I have to point out to SLWS that having actually collected a full gear with one OWE resist is both a miracle and an achievement in itself. But one shouldn't treat the new long-awaited changes as if they were breaking his gear and game now. It always was wrong and felt wrong - the way that the passive was designed, and particularly after the release of RoS with higher difficulty tiers and gear requirements to progress through the game. And finally it's going to be reworked. You will only benefit from the changes, if not right now, then in the nearest future. Say you will want to try out a new build or a new set of seasonal legendary armor. Getting all those items with OWE resist again? A good way to go mad before you even reach an age of 40.
And as for the viewing DEX->ARMOR as a non-compliant issue in terms of 'roleplaying', well... Pure strength IRL never gives you any armor, physically. It only makes your body stronger with an ability to wear a better armor. So technically STR->ARMOR for Barbarians and Crusaders is wrong as well, STR only should grant them the perk of wearing heavier armor. And since when becoming more intelligent makes you more resistant to fire and other elements? Will you receive physically less damage now from touching the fire than you did when you were younger and possibly less intelligent? From drinking poison? You see my point.
I don't watch any streams but I assume that there are 2 types of streamers generally (following some patterns IRL basically):
1. The commercial ones, who went directly for things that people like and certainly will like, who follow patterns and styles and who spread word about themselves everywhere for the purpose of gaining audience and monetizing stream or satisfying theirlust forattention and popularity ASAP.
2. The quality, self-sufficient ones - those driven purely by their desire of self-expressing themselvesvia streamingand helping others out by sharing their experience and knowledge. Consequently these monetize their streaming activity, too but usually it's rather dictated by dire needs of survival than by commercialism as they get to spend too much time making quality streams.
I strongly recommend you to follow the second path - if you have the ardor within you - as I believe it is theonly one worthyand also the only one that will be able to survive the competition thanks to quality and uniqueness. Therefore you don't need to ask questions like 'what do people like' and 'how do I change myself so that I'm being liked', just do what you want and love and see if people are interested in it. Grow your small army of admirers that will spread the word about you.
