If you would have read what I said..
The life on hit is a ring I found. Its totally unnecessary and yes - its worth around 100m, hence it's up for sale.

Apparently, the most important stats are:
80k Dps (with breath of haven) - Acheived via Skorn Crit Damage + Attack Speed + ~30% Critical chance
4000 Armor
750 AR
3K Life on kill
Minimum 25k HP

Now, this thing is to worry abt whether this build gets hotfixed(nerfed) by Blizzard because it's not intended to spend only 20mil gold on gear and get 600 Items Dropped Per Hour.

Not really, Blizzard games have a asymptotic nerf->buff cycle to maximise their profits by forcing people to reroll to the flavor of the month/year, especially when Jay Wilson plays a Barb.

Apparently, for Blizzard's games, some classes start Uber (like Vanilla WoW's Rogue and Shaman) and then get nerfed to the ground (by Burning Crusade) and then they get buffed back.

For some classes (Warlock and Paladins), it was nerfs after nerfs during Vanilla and they turn OP/IMBA during Burning Crusade.

Well for one thing, the Dex classes hasn't bottomed out yet, so nerfs must continue until D3 Expansion.
 
works like a charm...

one problem though it crashes d3 sometimes... what relogger u guys using?? anyone can post a good relogger?

Not possible my friend, you have a problem with D3 or DB.
A build can not crash your game... :\

Monk - Game Guide - Diablo III you need to be fairly well equipped, but a lot more fun to watch :)

Wouldn't call it fairly.. that build goes in line with a WW barb - a 200m build +/-.
No single res - only runs with AR items, all items need to have + armor too due to the fact you don't use seize the initiative.

And if you don't run with a 5 piece Inna set, you won't have spirit to cast Sweeping winds each time you meet another pack (or you will but won't have spirit for tempest rush).

I ran it for 2 hrs, didn't die, farming Infernal machine plans, MP1, I ain't that well built and no Inna's pieces at all. It was only fun to watch, wasn't that efficient, back onto your build now :)

I read your guide and decided to try it. I just finished leveling my monk and spent about 20 mil gearing it up. I botted it all day on MP1, got 525+ items and 2-4 deaths per hour. It's very effective, much cheaper than my barbs and almost as fast. Thanks for sharing your guide, it's been really useful :)
 
I really struggle a lot with this. Got my monk 60 yesterday, bought Skorn, Andarial's Visage and other item (very tight budget) and it just doesn't seem to cut it.

At first I was running 440ish AR, 50k~ DPS and 26k hp - it died 18 times an hour on average.
Then i tried with high hp, slightly higher AR and 30k dps - still dying a lot, 12 times an hour.
So today I tried with 710~AR, 44k DPS and 28k hp and it's still dying around 10 times an hour.

Though I get the feeling it's an issue with the teleporting, when I watch it dying it's because of teleporting into dead mobs exploding, teleporting into lazers or fire on the ground.
I don't really know what to do, I have 2k life on kill and killing normal mobs is not a problem - however the elites are raping my monk.
 
I use this buid Monk - Game Guide - Diablo III
89k dps unbuffed
650 AR
700 LOH
32% MS
35k HP
MP1
Bought today a stone of jordan with + 6% lightning dmg and +29 % dmg against elites. Lower my dps but im killing elite packs faster.

Stats (more or less):

80k Dps (with breath of haven) - Acheived via Skorn Crit Damage + Attack Speed + ~30% Critical chance
4000 Armor
750 AR
3K Life on kill
Minimum 25k HP (else you will die vs strong packs before you can regen hp)
Click to expand...

These stats are a MUST.
without high dps you won't kill fast enough to gain the life on kill.

Aye, I'm just saying that having anything below this is probably causing a lot more deaths than you want, those stats are the minimum reqiured.

I find that the DPS is the most important part. The higher you get, the more you can skimp out on the defense. Sure the bot will still die (mine gets about 3 DPH), but still maintains 600+ IPH with 90+ items picked up/hour.

Attack speed is really important too to generate enough spirit for WoL spam.
 
Followed your guide. Just made my monk.

My stats after buying 70mill worth of gear

Dex 2128
Vitality 1048
Armor 4634
health 36956
Attack speed 1.49
Crit chance 28.5 (With scoundrel)
Crit Dmg 335
Movement speed 34
Resists 712

Dmg 89824.46 - with buff 103298.12

Spent more then wanted. I need better gems. And better rings. Need to get crit up tad more.
Testing now. Will post results if anyone wants to see.

Did I do good?
