Thanks for your post, it was helpful to me.
I went the wrong direction with my monk it seems, went all damage. blew about 100m in damage items.
 
i guess if i had sam weapon with crit chance or socket i would get some more dps and it would go smoother.
Takes a long time now
 
high block chance is really needed i guess
 
switched to giles combat plugin and have now 0 deaths and 90k gph
1 run took me 1 hour and 15 minutes

btw this is inferno mode and the new act 3 champion run on inferno mode from acronic

As you can see my monk is pretty much a pure dps build that stays alive by attacking stuff and its always attacking stuff ;)

Also another monk protip: your sweeping winds damage is based on whatever your damage is in the character info in inventory so before casting sweeping winds you wanna use all damage buffs then cast it, sweeping winds will take a snapshot of your damage and keep it at that damage for the entire duration of the skill.

It took me some time and money to get my monk ready for this. Before I was on Champ Farm Act1

stats 1H Dagger (865 DPS) + Stormshield:
dex 2174
vit 784
AS 1.62
Crit chance 5
Crit dam 50
block chance 40
dodge chance: 42
all res 1074
max life 28k
life per hit 1046
life steal: 2,5%
dps 22k

skills
mantra evasion => hard target
mystic ally => Earth
breath of heaven => blazing wrath
Serenity => peacefull response
fist of thunder => thunderclap
sweeping wind => blade storm

MF unbuffed on Paragon 28: 178

passives
beacon of Ytar
one with everything
seize the initiative

Normally I am not dying on this setup, but some champ packs are pretty nasty (esp. lots of Arcane on small stairs/space)
Time for run: around 1:15 hour. Need more DPS then it should take less time.
 
Has anyone been able to be successful with act 3 being a strictly pure dps monk?

Top bullshit.... i have the same stats and it takes the dam bot 15 min to get 1-2 stacks and u say u do a full act 3 run in 1:15?
And Monk is 50% slower then my WD that im running currently

and for some reason the bot wont use sweeping winds even tho i have the spirit for it (giles)

And also... Why the fuck wont the bot use sweeping winds? it doesnt cast it at all

After reading the posts in this thread, I was able to successfully change my gear for under 5m gold, and can now run all of A3 and almost kill azmo, just need some more LOH.
My stats:
dex 1718
vit 1084
armor 6313
damage 28.5k
crit% 32.5
crit + dam 140%
attack / sec 1.49
block 27%
dodge 37.2%
resist (w/ aura) 1108
w/o aura 924
thorns 1861
life 41.2k
life per second 1615
life steal 2.9
life per hit 692 (need more of this + faster 1H, ie dagger, fist, sword)

Skills

Deadly reach ~ keen eye
Blinding Flash ~ Searing Light
Serenity ~ ascension
breath of heaven ~ blazing wrath
Sweeping Wind ~ cyclone (must have if you have high crit % imo)
Mantra of healing ~ time of need

Passive
Transcendence
Seize the intitatve
one with everything
 
I decided a while ago to go 2h instead since it seemed like a dps increase ( some of my armor gear is really defensive).

Unbuffed: 38k dps
Buffed with blazing wrath : 44k

HP : 46.5k
Armor: 5300
LOH: 800
Lifesteal : 5,6%
Resistances (without aura): 1000


Its totaly whipefree in the first 2 areas ( the champion farming profile) but it sometimes have problems with thoose who put their hands down in the ground and do poison (due to bot not moving), the flying things and the hulking phase (especially if combined with succubus).
It currently dies around 2-5 times per run which I am looking to decrease with more dps.

So block and massive LOH is not really needed.

my dual-wield monks are doing fine - 40-50 minutes per run depending on how often they die
Some LOH/lifeleech 40-50k dps buffed 40k+ life

Dunno why so many use sword+board, dual wield monk is the way to go!

Do you even need LoH? When my monk crits the life steal gives way more than the life on hit.
