I just started inferno on my monk (my 5th lvl 60 charater all except witch doctor). I decided to level characters while I waited for 1.03 instead of breaking my hands punching the wall from act 3 with my wizzard... I have started to enjoy the monk quite a bit, much better than I expected the class to be. This was my first time to look at builds and ideas since I started him. This guide was much better than anything I expected to find, thank you! All the numbers and links to back all this up, great work even better sharing it.
I never felt my passive skills were set that great but I still wasn't having problems so I didn't bother to mess with them much. I experemented with various passives and somehow I have been overlooking Resolve this whole time. I also haven't tried Blinding Flash/Faith in Light. Actually never really tried Bliding Flash at all and it looks quite awesome, can't wait for severs to come up so I can try it out. One With Everything I knew would be great one I started working more on gear, for now it's usless for me, but soon it will be used..
At the moment I am dual weilding and I think I will keep doing that until/if I am force to use a shield. Maybe carry one for the harder fights when I need it. I have two socketed weapons around 600dps both with high dex and life on hit gem in them. My armor is pretty good stat wise, not much resists though, I used most of it on my deamon hunter to get about half way through act 2 inferno before the elite packs started making me want to hit the wall and I moved to a new character.
At any rate I will be trying out several new ideas due to this post. Mantra of Conviction/Overawe if I can get away with it, I have used it before I know I will take more damage but the extra dps might work, very worth trying again.
I am thinking: Standard FoT & DR build or Deadly Reach build with Overawe if I can handle it and Transcendence instead of OwE for now... So much to try out and the servers are down
