+++ Monk Stats required to run act 3 +++

Man.. I dunno what I can do. Spent a total of around 16-20m and I think I have completely messed it up? I dunno. I myself can clear act 3 and 4 but the bot just gets destroyed in act 3. I've tried dual wielding and with a shield, neither works. Any ideas? Is it because I went arcane as my main resist? Just seems if I want any kind of upgrade, I am looking at 10-20m per piece.

edit: changed pic to include items/stats/build\

edit 2: fixed picture

If you spent 20m on that then I'm sorry, but I think I could build similar set for 2m tbh. Anyway a couple of good tips here for my monk homies;;
When over 950AR unbuffed, start using either backslash OR my fav MoH with life regen rune, it helps a ton. Plus get life regen if possible on your gear, it helps you stay alive for longer.
Get "health globe grants xxxxx health" bring it above 15-20k, trust me it is very helpful and let's you survive longer.
Get 45k++ hp, it helps getting more out of the health globes.
Disable some of the avoidance features, I took arcane, plagued and molten off. It spent more time dodgin than killing the packs.

If any has any tips, feel free to share em <3
 
I've done some upgrading now and my death/hour is now 1-2 on average, sometimes even 0!

My stats are following with buffs:
60k HP
1300 AR (Time of Need)
1200 LoH
800 LpS
5% Lifesteal
25000 Health Globe Grant+
12 pickup radius
31% crit
5.5k armor (enchantress buff)
40k dps (blazing wrath)

I've switched from heavy dmg to heavy defenses and tbh, it is amazing. I am indeed dualwielding atm, dropped the shield and went for some better dmg output.
 
iv actually been doing very well with this build/stats.
with NEW giles trinity getting 0-2 DPH with this

Blinding flash - faith in light
Serenity - ascension
Breath of heaven - blazing wrath
Mantra of evasion - backlash (while attacking i have 55% dodge and mantra refresh makes me have 62%. i think this is helping a lot cuz it applies to life steal i think?)
FoT - lightning flash (for the dodge)
Sweeping winds - cyclone

35k dps (with blazing buff)
1.7 atk speed
35% crit
175% crit dam

block 22%
dodge *with mantra* --> 46%
*with mantra while attacking with FoT rune* --> 55%
*with mantra refresh while attacking* --> 62%

876 all res
7k armor
45k health
221 life per sec
2.7% life steal
563 life on hit
Feel free to ask any questions --- and no im not using a Stormshield

approx how much would you estimate you gear cost you?
Click to expand...

Not that much. I started doing full act 3 clears as soon as patch 1.03 was deployed and back then 5-10M gold was still worth quite a lot.

Using current item prices, I'd estimate about 20-35M per piece. Not counting the weapons and gems of course.
 
You guys should try lifesteal with Wave of Light - Explosive light.
That for me crits 600k. and its an aoe... 1 crit with that... even with 3% life steal (which in inferno is 0.6%) is like a 3.6k heal off of 1 hit!
I haven't tried it, cause i don't have lifesteal XD. But looking to upgrade to a weapon that does. Then maybe i'll update.


As for me. I can farm act 3 with 2-4 deaths per hour. (Im upgrading so the next upgrade will leave me with 0-1 deaths per hour I believe. Can't wait!)
I farm with the following stats:

95k+ dps.
45k+ hp
700 AR
350+ Crit damage
40+ crit.


Sry don't give exact stats... Thats like asking for trouble.
Like no LoH or life steal, which is also why I am probably on certain packs.
 
Hey,
I just got a monk, and currently I let it to run act1/2 to get some paragon levels (preferably 10+ before I go act 3),
I got around 750-800 ar
~1600 LOH
~1.8 APS
~57% dodge
~43k dps totally unbuffed (around 50k with breath of heaven)
~35/40k hp
~15Pick up radius
~+5000hp on health globe
~+500hp/sec (without mantra)
~very low on armor tho, only ~6-6.5k

Any idea if it will be enough to run act 3? (I'm doing it as dual wield monk with usage of this build Monk - Game Guide - Diablo III that was suggested by xenohadden on page 2 if I recall) and if not, what should I aim to improve first? (this gear cost me ~35-40 mil).

Thanks in advance!
 
I'm running ACT3 with these stats, dying about twice per hour; arcane in confined spaces seem to be the only problem.

900 All resist
43% buffed dodge
6700 buffed armor
28k buffed DPS
35% crit chance
220% crit damage
1 APS
1700 LOH
5.7% lifesteal
500 HP regen
80k HP
 
those of you that run with a dual wield build, do you have loh on both weapons or just a strong MH and a loh/ll OH? And does it worth to lose de %Crit and tons of mitigation from a shield? I am regearing a monk to farm act 3 and need to choose a build to run.

get some LOH, at least 600-800, your dps too low for lifesteal to be effective. run with moe hard target. you should be able to complete your runs decently.

if that doesnt help try upping your block chance.
 
Hi. i have around 1600 LOH, and currently going with 1h and sheild.. When I have that much LOH should I go for 2x 1 hands, or dosent it mather?
