Howcome my monk fails so badly in act 3?

[FunFragger]

Hey guys,

I have a monk that I can clear act 3 easily with on inferno when I play manually, usually only die a handful of times each run.

But when I bot, I average 28 deaths per hour. I don't know if my gear just isn't good enough for act 3 botting or I've got some settings wrong or what.

My stats are:

480~ AR
35.6k HP
37% Crit Chance
+387% Crit Damage
60k dps unbuffed
5.2k Armor
459 LPH

Any help is greatly appreciated.

low lph and no ll ?
and get more all resi

get 800AR and 60k HP, a little more armor, without sacrificing any of that wonderful dps you got would be my second recommendation. First recommendation would be to take a day and roll a barb.

My monk is pretty much the same except i have 750 All rez, 700 extra armor and 4.9 life steal(dual wield)...have zero loh and 52k dps unbuffed . . . 0-2 deaths / hour

So i guess you issue is lack of all rezists, 5-6k hp extra will also help

My build is Monk - Game Guide - Diablo III

Get Life steal... LoH is useless (is lph = loh?) esp for a monk. Barely any of our skills proc off LoH. LoH only good for tank builds.
i think your resist is too low as well
you prob want about 600 resist. after 600-700 and on diminishing returns starts to take a bigger effect

Yeah... no. FoT have one of the best proc coefficients of all attacks if u take its attackspeed into the equasion. LoH is easily as good as Lifesteal as long as youre < 100k DPS.

Mehh... Ive experimented with it, and it is good but once u get to like 70k dps it becomes fuzzy. LS will give you bck about 1k life per hit and more depending on the crit.
I find for a monk, your survivability will go up if you just focus on damage and maybe some health pickup.
If you can kill stuff in ~5 seconds then you will win!

650 All resist /w 40k hp and grab some life steal. it's quite important to have attack speed, you want to be sitting around 1.85 APS

Im currently running with 43k dps unbuffed and 1k LoH without any Lifesteal. If u have a very high attack speed, LpH starts to shine compared to LS.

0-1 dph
12m exp/h without any ep bonus

You dont need lifesteal, but it is a very nice stat to have. In your case you are very low on multiple stats.
If you're goin LpH, 450 is way too low. Get at least 700+ with shield, or 1200+ dualwielding. Or get 5+ Lifesteal as an alternative.
Get more life, 40k is a bare minimum for dualwielding, better 50k+ to be safe.
AR should be at 700+.
You can do it with less ofcause, but u will die on most nasty combos u cant faceroll in 10s for whatever reason. (Running away, shielding etc.)

Bigest crap I heared. LoH is much better than ls. Sure you take your 5 ls, I just preffer 1800 Loh on weapon.
5% ls +80% is 0.6% real lifesteal, so LS becomes better when you make 300k+ hits (not dps), that would mean you do around 600k-1m dps.

And which skill exactly processed LS and doesnt LoH?

I'll take LS over LoH when paying for weapons. LoH is too damn expensive.

And that last sentence is horribly wrong. I do 300k crits NOW and i only have 75k unbuffed dps.

 

[Wonder]

300k crits sure, but you have to take average hit. And it aint wrong, just look at your buffed dps. And now we talking about weapon prices? We were talking about weapon superiority... If we talk about prices, I have neither LoH or LS on my weapon and I am around 50k dps (unbuffed), and I ussually have 0 deaths per hour... farming act 3 champions + azmodan...

And I bot for like 4 days...

uhhh. Post your stats. Im extremely skeptical. Are you botting with a shield? Whats your xp/hour?

I run with < 3% lifesteal and thats it. Frankly i find it that i don't even need any.
However, skills that scale with LS and not LOH include sweeping wind (which is HUGE portion of your dps) as well as other skills such as wave of light...
