Any suggestions gear wise you all can give me to up the dps on my monk? I have a good bit of gold to work with. Not a bank breaking amount, but enough. Thanks in advance.
From looking at your toons you know what kind to gear to buy. I would craft gloves, bracers and shoulders. I think you know what stats to go for so i dont think listing them is necessary for the crafted pieces. With the recent changes to the xp bonus you get from co-op i would drop the hell fire and get a nice unity with 30+ crit damage or a trifecta ring. Your nats ring could use more crit chance. You could upgrade your weapons to swords, they are slightly faster. Lots of pieces could have more of the stats already on them like more dex for dps or vit/resistances for ehp. Your about at the point where you gotta ask your self do i go for dps or do i go for ehp so you can survive. I have managed to find a place where im currently comfortable on both points where i can farm mp8 like im a hot knife cutting butter. You just gotta decide what you wanna do. Do you wanna destroy mp5-7 like its your red headed step child or do you want to farm mp10 with ease. My suggestions would set ya up for id say mp8 tops, mp10 is not my area of expertise.
The guy before me mentioned something important about Xp from Hellfire ring , usually it is better to go in groups or go higher in MP than using a Hellfire ring or Gem in the helm , ofcourse if you can have 300k dps and have hellfire ring and gem in the helm that would be great , but since you want higher dps , some sacrifices have to be made.
Helm : Your helm has good EHP , but bad DPS , if you can sacrifice some resist like 25 , then switch to Andariel's Visage with Socket for %life or go 240+ Dex 70+ Vit depending on what gives you more HP and DPS and your budget ofcourse.
Necklace : Craft more , Average damage increases damage ALOT , so try to craft high crit with high crit dmg and avg dmg , should do you wonders.
Shoulders : Craft , 240 Dex is low and the poison resist you are getting barely anything 26 poison is low.
Gloves : Craft.
Bracers : Drop the lacuni and start crafting or get lacuni with Dex/Vit + All res or Poison res with crit chance.
Witching Hour : doesn't need to change , it is good.
Natalya's Reflection : Get Avg Damage in there , you might get more dps from 50 Avg Damage than 3% crit if you can't afford one with Crit and Avg.
Temperance : Get 9% Attack Speed
Hellfire Ring : Drop it and get some rare with Crit dmg , crit chance and avg with dex/vit and all res or poison res whatever , unity might be too expensive when you add high crit dmg or attack speed.
Boots : they are alright in combination with Reflection.
Weapons : if you want the biggest boost in dps and not bothered by fear then go for Echoing Fury that has 0.25 Attacks Per Second with Crit and Socket or Crit and Life steal or Life steal and socket , whatever you think helps you the most or you can afford.
and if you go the Echoing Fury route then keep a slow weapon with it to get the most out of the 0.25 APS , just get higher damage weapon with high crit dmg , high dps weapons without main stat with Life steal , crit dmg and LoH can be cheap and just as good as the ones you have or better and give you that Life on Hit against health link mobs.
I would also recommend you focus on one resist if you are using One with Everything , your resist are all over the place , you have poison on belt/shoulders , you have arcane on bracers and Physical on hellfire(I assume this one just happens to be there , because it is random craft).
Good luck and it would be best if you mention what is your budget so we know what to recommend , I can ofcourse recommend you 6% CC 190 Dex 9% as mempo but you might not even have half of what that helm costs.
