Very nice. For that build consider a SW SoJ, maybe even a xeph amulet for spirit regen and dropping attack speed. As you favor magic find a xeph amulet gains quite a bit. If you get enough spirit I see some run deadly reach foresight in place of FoT for the buff, then infinite rush. I prefer blind of wrath to burn elites and buff SW.
wear a hellfire ring, boots have room for 100 more dex, bracers could use dual resist,
A bit offtopic, but how do you search for SW SoJ's? Do you really have to look all through the list of SoJ's from all five classes and different skills?
And nice monk btw, do you really need all that vit?
For SW SoJ search for all armor: bonus vs elites: 5%+, monk skill: sweeping wind. Only SoJ has this combination
You won't be able to combine those terms without searching for all armor, the name or rings will not work.
Oh, the uber set, still fairly defensive from before the nurf. In that set of gear I ignore serenity and pickup foresight/blazing wrath/combo strike for +49% damage. Attack speed is stacked to scale with blind and the strongest sweeping wind affordable. I find sweeping wind offers enough lifesteal to regenerate through CC and all that matters is DPS for ubers. It's cheaper to keep that EHP than it is to increase my DPS requiring defensive talents. A SW inna's hat, tal-rash chest & amulet is on the list for end-game but I do the tempest rush build for farming... requiring no attack speed. Just need to reach 100 to throw away the MP0 set.
Ooo the Stone of Jordan recommendations sound nice, though +lightning dmg and sweeping wind bonus is gonna' be a little pricey for me haha
+elemental adds to black damage, if your weapon has +element on it it's less viable, all elements add the same damage. The only special element is cold to slow enemies.
Widds your gear looks goood to me, hard to upgrade any of those slots without forking out big time gold. Perhaps your ammy would be the first, i know your ouroboros has good LOH but i think your missing alot of Crit Dmg for that slot, also having LS on both weps should be plenty of sustain at your lvl. Look for a min/max dmg, DEX, crit chance, crit damage Ammy.
60-70% crit damage should give you close to 10k dps increase, you can sacrafice the VIT on that slot imo.

cant post link to profile yet. tag is Hamedo#6803
Yeah, it's becoming an issue of upgrading something for maybe 1 or 2% more crit becomes a 100million gold affair. The amulet was just upgraded last night to a dex/vit/fire res/ias/crit one. Crit Damage isn't as big of a DPS increase as you stated.. 65% would only get me 5.3k. Needed some IAS for spirit generation anyways.
Anyways, your bracers should be easy enough to upgrade. I picked up a similar pair with 6% crit (and fire res instead of poison) for 10mil last night.
Fantastic. I've been meaning to play around with Tempest Rush. How are you liking it?
Oh.....and about how much did you give for those Prowler Bracers? I've been pricing them and the asking prices are all over the place.
Fine monk though, Elinar.
28 mill for the lacuni, will upgrade later... and temest rush is awsome for when ur stuck, and since sweeping wind is free i can use it 2 move alot faster for more runs :))
Very nice. Why not run Fleet Footed for even more MS? Also, nice Hellfire Ring. Of course, there are a bunch of places to upgrade, especially the vitality stats.
My monk is an alt character, but I'll be looking to gear her up more as time goes on. Profile/progress is in my sig.
First time poster as well, but hoping to get some input:

I currently have 12½ mio gold, and having a hard time finding good ring/amulet at REASONABLE prices :-)
Fixed your link.
I dont see a reason going with a shield unless your playing hardcore (like me).
That's actually very impressive. If I ever played hardcore seriously I'd make a very similar monk to yours - how long have you been playing that? You must've spent tons of gold on it thus far, some of those pieces are seriously sick (gloves, both rings, shoulders, the chest even, etc.) even for softcore let alone for HC. You seem to have less defensive stats than most ones I'm used to seeing on hardcore but you sure have tons more damage while still having a very respectable amount of HP. Shame stormshields can't roll high dex+vit and hardly ever have crit, the block difference between that and Hallowed Defender is so huge.
I honestly like what you've done a lot.
https://eu.battle.ne...460/hero/226352 I feel so gimped in my farming gear and spec, too used to running around with like 150k damage and 700 all resists rather than what I have now. Ah well, at least I have something more to look forward to once I hit 100 paragon, I miss my nats 2 set, trifecta gloves and 60 life per spirit spent inna's head. :<
if u were to go back to nats 2 pieces, u probably gain 20k-30k+ dps and gain some EHP as well, not sure if the dps gain vs elite will cover that, might need a bit of loh, since you are only using 3% ls, other than that, everything looks good and balance
here is mine, got a few pieces of upgrades over the past weekend,
here i am
eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Skulley-2691/hero/56601
got one more innas with arcane res and a bit more dex/stam i use when not farming low MP. i think i need to save a lot of gold to get me a good wepond..
Well, you seem to be pretty well geared. I do not really know what you could upgrade without spending a ridiculous amount of money. One thing you may want to try life steal instead of (or in a addition to)life on hit since your damage is pretty high. You could perhaps get some hands with crit damage, but I realize that would be very expensive. I didn't realize the blackthorne belt could roll so much dex lol. Sorry that was not extremely helpful, but you are pretty good so..
Your monk is pretty well geared Cold_Drink, what you could look into though is the 2pc of natalyas for a huge damage buff. Other then that I would swap out Mantra of Evasion to Mantra of Conviction with Overawe as it will boost your damage output by a lot. I would also use Fleet footed over Resolve unless you're struggling to survive, which you shouldn't with your gear.

Thanks, i enjoy playing the auction house, havent really focused on hardcore for more then a few months.
Geez dude, 5 set pieces. I haven't found one Monk set piece thus far with either of my 5 chars at at least paragon 5...or did you buy some of them? I got a couple for my other chars, but none for ma Monk
Anyway can't really give advice since your char is better than mine and I'm not that knowledgeable But what Hoppi said about Resolve, also don't see you needing that. But since you have Mantra of Evasion, why not switch Resolve for The Guardian's Path (in your case grants you 15% to dodge incoming attacks); your dodge will be really high.
My pants aren't updated yet, but it's basically the same but with res all + poison res (mines almost 600 with the pants). Also my crit dmg is also almost 400% (from my link it's calculated as 348%, but I remember it being very close to 400%).
Your LoH is decent, but you should start thinking of switching to lifesteal. Once you upgrade your weapons, you might want to get a higher DPS main hand, and keep one of your current weapons for offhand.
What do you think of my gear? the link to my gear is on my page, can't post URL's yet :/
i dont like the 2hand style but thats ofcourse up to you
you should defintifly get a second piece of innas set for the bonus (I advise you to the pants!)
your rings are missing critchance ;>
Here is my profile. I am currently a little stuck. I dont want to switch to EF again because i hate the fear! For reflect dmg packs i switch my MH for one with LS.
Any sugestions?
My german is terribad, but from what I could understand:
- change belt. Try to get a "The Witching Hour". It's simply the best for this slot.
- get a natalya's reflection with crit dmg. It's not worth it unless you get crit on the ring. Ice Climbers + a rare ring with 6% crit is better and tons cheaper.
You said you don't like the 2hander playstyle, yet you wield a Skorn O.o I guess you changed your mind?

So if I understand correctly, should my main hand have the lifesteal AND high dps? And how exactly does the main- off-hand thing work. Thanks.
