what is so good about dashing strike these days? did it get buffed in 1.04 or 1.05?
i haven't been able to play PTR, too busy, so what stats should we focus more on these days, loh or dps? lets say i have 60k dps unbuff and 1k loh
They made dashing strike scale with attack speed, it likely still has the small window of invincibility. It's your get out of a bad situation free card.
With those stats and quite a bit of EHP you would likely focus on increasing dps, with more sustain as it rises.
650 resist, 3% steal 350 LoH was not enough to out-heal one reflect damage boss.
For monks with 5-6x paper doll 100% dps uptime would desire 85-90k dps before enrage.
I agree the 45k health is "safe". I wonder how much damage is reflected. I'm holding off on jewelry for 1.05. Lacuni bracers and blackthorn pants may be viable.

I would prefer avoiding glass cannons if possible.
yea the echoing fury was an impulse buy super cheap the socketed ones are very expensive, but i check very often for one. and i didnt think offhand dmg mattered as much
Why would you think that? Monk is not a barb, 1/2 our damage is from the off-hand (this is for damage from direct attacks to be precise). That being said, weapon DPS is not crucial for monks, and a low DPS weapon with high stats (say 700-800 dps, but double crit and high dex) will give higher damage than e.g. a 950dps weapon with only a socket.
Now there is a second complication here, and that is sweeping wind. When you cast it, it's damage is based on your currently active weapons' DPS. Unless you feel like tracking your active weapon, half of the time you will cast it from the off-hand. So my suggestion usually is to get two weapons with similar DPS, so you don't have to worry about it. With echoing fury you have to add the attack speed to the off-hand to see whether it is in the same range or not.
Does this mean a 1,000 dps, 1.2 attack speed offhand with a +0.24 aps (20%) echoing fury would count as 1,200 weapon damage for sweeping wind if it activates while the offhand is active?
this is my monk. started playing d3 again about a week ago and have been working on my gear. any tips/advice appreciated. around 750~ resists atm.
Not bad. Looking for a budget and what you are looking to do.
More vitality on your core items, huge vitality on your pants and chest, +% health is a neat addition. 30k is a general minimum, you can give up some resistance for it.
Right ring should have some combination of avg damage, crit or attack speed along with higher dex, left is fantastic. Bracers should be a higher dps item while you might be able to sneak some health on your boots.

5 minute enrage timer, 300 seconds. 129 Million health / 300 seconds requires 430,000 actual dps.
