I completed normal on my monk at lvl29 with no gear from AH. Didn't have any issues from belial onwards, had lots of very nice drops along the wayJust cleared Normal mode last night, had been having trouble on the last few maps getting one shotted a lot - and the big cheese himself was eating me for lunch.
Quick trip to the AH for some new gear and nothing could touch me. If i'd been wearing gear that dropped for the level then no chance.
