Say fellas, I intend to buy a new mouse so I can do some neat Diablo 3 macros.
I am torn between Gigabyte M8000X and Diablo3 Steelseries.
Not sure which one would be better.
Stats-wise, Gigabyte seems to be slightly better, but not sure if the macro support is just as good.
Tips?
Also, I noticed the thread on official battlenet forum was deleted. What gives?
I intend to be a manic monk. I have a steelseries D3 mouse. The buttons are well placed so a macro is not even nessesary. Not to mention with the monk and using more generators I can see a macro being more of a curse then a blessing that everyone seems to think it is. If you kill an enemies on your second part of your combo your macro is now out of sync.
In my opinion D3 mouse and not using a macro is best. However I am not the one who has to pay for the mouse so it is all your call.
So, I just hit level 50 and I'm giving this a try. I went from 2700-ish damage on my character page, to 3400-ish damage (while in combat spamming my generators). I'm not sure how this turns out as far as ACTUAL damage-on-targets because I only have 1 mantra, and 2 spirit spenders. Anyways, here's my build; http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#ZTaUWS!gbX!aaaaaZ

While I haven't tried this, I could not imagine giving up a full 2 of my skills and the use of a passive for a 24% damage increase... That would hit my survivability very hard and I am already having issues with that in Hell.
I've only gotten to nightmare, I'm at lvl 35 and been using the 3 generator setup since lvl 11 still going strong.
I was using FoT + Thunderclap, WotHF + Blazing Fists, Crippling Wave + Concussion for the 3 generator combo. I've played around with this and you most definitely at least should be using two generators, crippling wave + whichever other generator you'd like. Crippling Wave's debuffing is pretty strong and the aoe damage is good to have on a constant cycle.
I just recently switched FoT + Thunderclap for Dashing Strike + Quicksilver and I'm enjoying it a little more. I figured I was only using FoT for the mobility and Dashing Strike is better because it lets you run away if your surrounded so I just switched to it.
My other skills right now are Serenity + Reap What is Sown, Seven Sided Strike + Several Sided-Strike and Mantra of Evasion + Hard Target. Passives are Guardian's Path, Seize the Initiative and Transcendence.
The rotation I'm using is casting mantra every time I approach a large or rare mob, when the 3 second timer runs out I use Serenity, when that runs out I use seven sided and I keep swinging with the generators. I keep spamming the mantra for the huge doge bonus. My gear adds health per hit and % damage converted to life. His health is usually pegged on the top. I'm also using ruby's into my daggers to add even more damage, he's doing 500+ dps at lvl 35 with 2.1aps. He's a royal king of badassery.
