how is that working out for you? what are your passives?

also what are your avoids set at? deaths per hour?

 

[kinkay]

I've only done a couple of runs for act 3, 1-2 deaths per hour. gunna do some more runs to see how he does tomorrow.
passives are The Guardian's Path, One With Everything, Seize the Initiative

 

[sweetnsour098]

im about to try the same thing except my crit damage is about 80 lower than yours. ill post back tomorrow

 

[sweetnsour098]

well that sucks. i set up my drelogger wrong so he sat in town all night.

ill test today i suppose

EDIT: while you try that (since its literally just like my build) im goin back to 1h/shield. my bot didnt look too good with the stats we have for dual wield.

28k dps
1.5 atk spd
30% crit
67% crit dam

10,200 armor (Keen eye)
35% block
38% dodge
834 res (with mantra)
46k hp
3% life steal
1300 life on hit

Transcendence, seize init., one with everything

 

[sweetnsour098]

is there anybody willing to help me test different builds and stats to see whats most efficient?

I am for this idea, I would be willing to test different stats / builds.
So far I have tested 2 builds, shield + 950~ resists, 650 LoH, 33% crit, 140% increase crit, 1000 life per second, 27% block. I die 2-17 times per run, But I run a long profile.
Have also tested glass cannon, 2x 800 dps 3% leach 80 crit dmg 1h's. 40% total crit, 6% life leach, 530% increase crit dmg, 33k life, 1450 dex, 900 all res, this build does not work well, as I die much more frequently.
Life leach has been nerfed and does not work well.
I can only assume that you would need 1k+ LoH, 1800+ dex, 40+% crit, 500+ % increase crit dmg, 950+ all res, 45~ ish + dodge

 

[sweetnsour098]

I cant seem to find a build im happy and want to stick with.
if i could just figure it out id have the gear for it soon.

Going to try dual wield again. Had similar stats to this and came back to 15 DPH

Dual wield stats that i will test for the night:

47k dps with blazing
73k with blinding
29.50 crit chance
235 crit dam
1.65 atk spd

6k armor 37k hp
682 all res
57% dodge (while attacking lightning flash rune)

600 life on hit
5.7% life steal
321 life per sec

ill give the results back tomorrow

see all these ppl with shittier stats then me saying 1-2 deaths per hour is a fucking joke

i get ATLEAST 1 fucked up pack per hour that forces me to die 4-5 times to kill it because bot cant properly avoid crap on flor and shit

QFT i dont get it

 

[sweetnsour098]

tried with the stats i posted before this dual wield.
came back from overnight at 25 DPH though could be the new Giles trinity messing up since its new. also i make Rads profile manager not log me out til after 9 deaths and it switches profiles after 2. its possible it could run into 2 crappy elites within a few min that really mess up the dph. found 2 legendaries tho

Been reading this thread with interest.

In 1.0.3 my monk was farming act 1 with full mf, getting a lot of natalyas, blackthornes and making a healthy profit.

Come patch 1.0.4, act 1 farming is a lot worse, the ilvl 62-63 set items and legendaries can't drop, also the xp isn't great.

- With the dmg nerf for mobs, thought i would try act 3..................
- Switched out mf gear for res and more dps
- did dual wield as some ppl have suggested

Stats:
- 35k hp, 45k dps (with buff), 900 res all (time of need),
- 1.5k loh, 2.9% life steal
- also had 14 pick up radius - with gf increasing, im turning out to be a bit of a gold farmer too - 150-200k/hour
- don't underestimate pickup radius - when u are face tanking elites, if any health globes drop, you auto pick them up
- without pick up radius u don't and u have a much harder time surviving

..............i thought the loh and life steal, high res, PUR and high dps would make act 3 comfortable............i got owned big time.......15-25 deaths/ hour

Thought long and hard about what gear to change but nothing would significantly increase my dps to 70k+ (as suggested in an earlier post) without spending shit loads

Spent a few days thinking, browsing ah.....Saw a good deal, spent 40 mill total on hallowed hand + shield
- Hand has natural crit dmg/ socket/ loh/ life steal
- Shield is sick - has dex/ vit/ all res/ 14% life, crit chance 6, +block
- the set bonus of + all res and + atk speed really helps with your life steal/ loh and defences/ survival.

New stats:
- 42k dps (with buff)
- 55k hp, 1100 all res (time of need), 26 block
- 450loh, 2.9% life steal
- 14 PUR

Now monk farms comfortably, 2-6 deaths /hour
- 200k gph
- in the space of a few days since changing my gear,
- picked up inna's chest with all res - made back all my money and then some
- picked up tyraels might and a few shit legendaries
- the xp is SO much better than act 1

I really recommend such a set up, i know it works well and comfortably for me
Now im waiting for the 1/2 billion gold immortal kings chest to drop!!!

Hope this helps, feel free to ask any Q's.

One time. Peace.

Can you please tell us your skill build?

Also what is your crit chance/damage?

 

[badoodles]

Has anyone been able to be successful with act 3 being a strictly pure dps monk?

Yes, it's possible but as a disclaimer, the gear reqs to make it happen are pretty high and therefore expensive.
It took a long while and a lot of gold to get there myself but once you're over the gear breakpoint though, it's a more time efficient way to get your paragon up.

Off the top of my head, I'm running the following:
Build - Cookie cutter cyclone/overawe Monk - Game Guide - Diablo III
Profile - Battlements > Stonefort > Fields of Misery > Cydea > Azmodan

All stats unbuffed w/ Enchantress
80,000 DPS
6,500 Armor
620 Resistances
500 LoH
2.7% Life Steal

if possible can you tell us your dex, crit chance, crit damage?

 

[mulletproof]

Also what is your crit chance/damage?

Here you go:

fist of thunder - thunderclap
blinding flash - faith in the light
breath of heaven - blazing wrath
serenity - ascension
sweeping wind - cyclone
mantra of healing - time of need

resolve/ one with everything/ seize the initiative

attacks per second - 1.82 (atk speed on both rings, amulet & hallowed set bonus, enchantress buff)
crit chance - 43.5
crit dmg - 213
armor - 6663 (enchantress buff)

 

[sweetnsour098]

whats your dex? and when u say 42k dps (buff) is it with faith in the light also or just blazing wrath?

 

[sparks]

last month I was all up on the Monk and he could do act1 and never take any damage. ok run for 6 hrs and repairs cost 6k
So lets go to act 3.
Damn I never got thru act2 and said F it and went back to barbs.

is there a way for me to bot thru act2 inferno?
If so I would love to start him again.
either way thanks big time for the post here, lots of good info

one more thing everyone using enchantress...what skills?

can some people post a pic for an idea of your lowest successfull starting A3 gear?
does that sentence make since?

 

[Potherox]

Great tip for my monks, pickup a stormshield with 150+++ dex, it is affordable (2-6m depending on block%). It'll help you loads in act 3!

 

[jaymovez]

i have no life on hit just life steal ^^

Are you in inferno? because Life steal is reduced by 80% in inferno... so if you have 6% life steal that's only 1.2% in inferno

stay with life on hit

 

[badoodles]

if possible can you tell us your dex, crit chance, crit damage?

Here you go. Dex is a little bloated from paragon (36) and the 2pc Inna's set bonus.
