hey all - i've been playing my monk for the first time in quite a while. i've been using the standard skills:
thunderclap
breath of light
mantra of retribution
sweeping wind
force field (i forget the name)

i dont really like blinding flash or tempest rush. what do you suggest i use as my final skill?

i dont like using the tempest run skill. i'm thinking of getting a new weapon for my monk without losing too much DPS. my current skorn stats are:
1276 dps; 1.0 attacks per second
299 dex
1818 life after kill
crit damage +146%
open socket

i have 12 mill to spend. any suggestions?

how do you actually use these? i got a message saying i got them, but i'm not sure how to actually activate them.

thanks

follow up - what build benefits from it? would the standard build work?

i've been using the basic cookie cutter one - without tempest rush. i like the SSS thing. is there anything i should replace due to my low attack speed?

suggestions?

hey all - i never much played the monk, in fact its been one of my least favorite characters in the game. i found a skorn that bumps up her damage quite a bit, and have been finding the playstyle to be more enjoyable after being able to kill stuff rather quickly. is a skorn viable for a monk though? or should i be looking to upgrade the gear on her?

i'll add you - nograndplan1424. i play all the time.

hey -

the build i've been using:

1) firebomb with flash fire - i like it because it can hit multiple units multiple times. it also has a sort of 'tracking' thing on it, making it great for clearing out destructibles
2) my secondary is locust swarm - searing locusts. this is a much less mana intensive build than the bears; and personally i hate the bears thing. they just never seem to hit where i want them to, and i die too much with them.
3) zombie dogs - poison ones - for the added damage
4) gartantuan - the one that slams
5) soul harvest - vengeance - great for clearin out trash; although i use spirit walk / jaunt when i'm on higher MP levels
6) rain of toads - i use that for single target boss damage, and to regen life for my LoH stuff.

my passives are a) zombie handler; gruesom feast; and c) pierce the veil.

i dont need any mana regen passive because locusts cost much less than the bears.

hey - just checked - and nope, nothing is bound to that key. also, my friends been havin the same problem..

i wasnt sure if it was me - but after items drop on the floor, their labels disappear rather quickly. i havent changed any settings in the game. anyone else having this problem?

oh so you dont even think its worth the money of grabbin them and posting it? yea i guess the lower ones are basically just small piles of gold. thanks guys

simple quick question, because i dont have my calculator handy...

what is the best thing to do with gems you find? assuming you dont need them, do you upgrade their quality to the highest level and then sell on the AH? or is that not even worth the cost and do you rather simply sell them as you find them.

oh good point bro - thanks a lot. i'm really focusing on leveling up my characters as fast as possible. it seems that every patch changes builds and the economy so much, the only thing that doesnt change is your character levels.

interesting - i'm def goin to try that out tonight. thanks for the suggestion

ha ur follower is geared better than my main.

all good bro - i'm just used to ppl being jerks on the forums. i'm on NA server - but thanks for the offer.

i do think i know my class, and played it tons, just hit a wall with certain things. a lot of the guides i've read arent geared to a specific persons playstyle or current gear. for example, i tried the impale - chemical burn thing that was suggested, but kept dying by reflect mobs. and i also tried the 'bowling ball' build that's soon to be obselete, but kept gettin pwned anyway.

if you cant ask someones opinion about a DH build, on a D3 fansite's demon hunter section - what is it here for anyway.



and i'm not forcin anyone to respond anyway
