MORE resistance.

you need atleast 500 to even be valuable in inferno as a monk.

with a monk, just pick one resistance and get it on every peice possible until you hit around that 500-700 mark and use the passive "one with all" or something like that.

I had ~670 buffed with my monk and still had a tough time in act 3.

I rerolled a witch doctor two days ago and havent looked back.

Striped my monk of his weapons and gear (~5 million in gear) and am having a blast with the kiting and insane amount of damage instead of pulling hair out with my monk..

I guess I have more fire res than anything else. I'll try getting more just fire and using that passive. Thanks, I figured it was my resistance.

Also, how is Physical Resistance different from Damage Reduction?

Lots of problems there man, I don't know where to begin but it comes down to GEAR (don't take offense to this post ).

1) Like others said, your resistances are horrid! 400 should be the minimum....700 is ideal for melee characters in inferno. However, see #3 which I think should be addressed simultaneously with resistance.

2) 9K dps and 16K life very low, dare I say too low, for inferno. Aim for over 30K life and 15K dps if you are going to be a more defensive role.

3) Finally, and most importantly for a Monk, your Life on Hit is ZERO! That's what will keep you alive. Google or youtube monks with very high Life on hit.....it's the only viable way to survive as melee.

3a) Along with Life on hit....your attack speed is very low. 1.4 attacks per second is not cutting it either. Find some rings, gloves, or a weapon with increased attack speed modifer.


Recommendation: Use whatever gold you have to buy gear on the AH to address these issues. If you are able, farm Act 1 inferno to find items and make more gold to get the items you want. I'm able to make 400-500K per hour doing my secret farm run + warden/butcher run. I have each run down to about 30 minutes, usually come out with x10 yellows, tons of gold, blues to sell, and an ocasional legendary. Nothign found was good enough for me to use, however, they do sell on the AH to add to that 400K per hour run.


- hit me up if you need more help. Oh, were you able to solo Hell Act IV and Diablo? It's a good measurement if you are ready for Act 1 inferno...Act 2 infero is a whole other story.

Thankfully they're addressing the difficulty jump from a1 to a2 inferno. That pretty much made me give up on my barb for now, my wizard's in the 50s..

Aside from being squishy as shit, it's nice to cast a spell or two and kite while the damage numbers just fly up the screen.

I found multiple yellow and blue items and x1 Legendary shield in only one run. Only bad part is, not all the yellows are level 60-62.
MSG me if you see me logged on and I'll do a run (or a bunch) with you

I'm at 58k dps and 40k hp, but I would love more dps

On now if you are interested. Damn, I'm falling behind. I'm at 35K dps/30K life/ 450 all resistances. I need to find some GG item to sell....I'm so broke.

Agree with all points... I've been doing some research as I've heard Inferno can be quite the suckfest if you're not ready for it. I'm a DH so I need to focus more on kiting and slipping attacks, but I still need to ensure I don't get one-shot if I get hit. One thing I noticed that is low is 16k HP. I mean I'm still in Hell, Act 2 and my HP is 20k and about 10k DPS. Not great, but working on it.

I spent a lot of money on AH stuff, so I'm pretty broke, although I managed to craft a pretty sweet bow the other day. I have different weapon sets for different stuff, but this bow is pretty nice (attack speed, lightning damage, dexterity).

All in all, I'm enjoying the class

I met guy playing a DH who runs act 3 for gear. He's at 175K DPS with 18K life, almost zero resists. His mentality is that almost everything will 1 shot you (2-3 at most), so he uses the "kill first" mentality.

Sold a legendary chestpiece earlier this morning. Made 5 million gold :]



With the upgrades that was able to get me, im sitting at ~42k HP, ~800-900 resists all around, ~700 Life on hit, 31% block chance, with 16% dodge chance, and ~75% over all damage resist from armor. Combined with my passive 20% less magic damage taken (from superstition), I was able to tank ACT 3 and Inferno Whimsyshire for my buddies (haven't dabbled in Act 4 yet, but that will come soon). Add me if you'd like someone to tank something :]

Aww man that sucks, I was watching you level up. Well you can blame your death on all the gold dupers / exploiters causing the lag issues. It go so bad, Blizzard went in and did a quick patch yesterday, causing the lag. You might get lucky, Asia had a 24hr rollback, I havn't heard if US servers are doing the same. Bad thing is now the economy is flooded with billions of gold, so if you were not exploiting the system, you can not afford the good gear on the AH.

Way overpriced right now. I'm waiting for things to settle before I try it.

I put a few things up there that I thought might sell, but no luck so far. I'll give it a chance after things die down.

Saw some 2h xbow's for my DH that I'd love to have, but I'm not spending $190+ on a digital item, lol...

I'm close to having paid for the game with RMAH so far haha, stockpiled a few All-Resist items and sold all 8-9 of them for a total of about ~$40. Once gear starts flooding the market after the inferno nerfs, expect prices to drop considerably though.

I added credits to my account via PayPal, howerver, it's been nearly a day and it still hasn't updated in game yet. I'm kinda worried. I want to spend money now, so I can farm gear quicker and sell it while it's still worth something. Currently doing Inferno Act 2 runs, basically get my NV to a 5 stack in the Oasis and kill Kulle.....hey usually drops 2-4 high level 60 yellows. Sucks they don't let you make games quickly now, farming the treasure goblin right at the waypoint was easy loot and could do 1 run per minute.

I did pay off the game already, just sold a ring for $75. Yea Tasty, I just sold that ring I found this morning 117 int / all res / 15% attack speed increase.

Well when you have plenty of disposable income, I don't mind spending some on enhancing the pleasure of one of my hobbies. It's no different than spending tens of thousands on modding and tracking my cars, just a more expensive hobby Besides, I've earned x3 the amount spent on the RMAH, wonder if I have to file this on my taxes as extra income
