Try to get all res + physical res, dont bother with single elemental ones.
I'd say get more dex and less vita. Also, dont monks get a passive which increases their dodge with 2 weapons ? That would give you more surv than a shield.

Also I'd go with lower dps weapons that have stats instead, will give u same dps but more benefits. 940dps is nice but an 750-800dps with 150dex will give u same results + extra dodge and maybe some other options along the way.


---------
Just noticed the 2 items u got with crit %.
Dont bother having crit % items unless you stack a lot of it along with 2 weapons with +Crit dmg. Anything less than +15% crit and 150% crit dmg not worth it, better just get more dex/allres/physical res and attack speed where you can on top of that.

Monks stack all res + 1 res because it takes the highest value and gives it to all, so having +all 50 res and +47 fire would give +97 to all. That's why all my gear is +all and +fire.

Is 20% block not better than 10% dodge? The passive is 15% but diminishing returns kick in and the dodge amount the passive gives gets lower and lower the more dex you stack.

Also the reason for the crit is that we have skills which rely on crits to activate (Not that I'm using them currently, but may be in the future if I change my build).
 
What i really want to happen in Diablo 3 is clans/leagues. They need to make us be able to have 4v4s with certain rules (no potions etc). Once the game is properly balanced it could be absolutely awesome.

Finally managing to progress through Act 3 after finding a gear and ability setup that works for me on my Wizard. Used a different set up for each Act now after finding something that works. Act 1 was just mass DPS with AoE due to how slow the majority of the monsters are. Act 2 had to go pure tanking with a shield due to the monsters being difficult to control.

Act 3, currently running with a kite build with 24% bonus movement (really helps). I need more health though (currently 48k in my gear set up) as some hits are getting through Energy/Force Armor and one shotting me, going to try to get that up to 55k. Going to get into a position where I can farm a boss, probably the first, for drops.

It's such a great game, really loving Inferno and the challenges it brings.

Could you post some more detail please? I just hit inferno on my wiz and I'm nowhere near those numbers. I'm curious about you build too. How'd you get 24% movement speed??

wish the ah was removed it's such a **** feature of the game and completely ruins it imo

Trust me, it's better than the trade channel. Diablo is a social game and trading is a big part of it. The only real problem I have with it is how easy it is to "play" the AH - it's very hard to find anything decent for inferno when there are people specifically, constantly watching the AH for useful endgame gear and insta-buying it to resell at massively inflated prices.
 
So, for a Monk, initially I'll want Dex and Vit, and eventually on reaching the later difficulties go for more Dex, and Res (+all and +another) and vit as just an extra bonus?

And I want to be looking at a shield + weapon? Rather than fist or dual wield?
 
Started with 60k today...

I'm currently sitting around 300k. Jeweller is now L10, Blacksmith is about L9. Aim to complete the BS upgrades, and upgrade stash to max today. Shouldn't be too hard :)

God knows how people are making 1m an hour though on the AH, I can see it being easy, but I haven't quite worked out the right stats to get a 1000000 item..

Block doesnt block the full attack, only a small part of damage, dodge blocks 100%. Also, you can dodge spells and I'm not sure if u can block them.

--------------
And regarding the res, yes ull get more elemental resists this way but lets be honest, its gonna be melee attacks that kill you. Normal casters dont hit that much and usually are easy to dodge.
If you thinking of tanking desecrator/plagued/molten/arcane champions - forget about it, even with 900 res it will still kill you if u dont move out of it straight away.

'Physical' is one of the elements in this game, it's hard to get used to at first however 'All Resist' gear applies to all damage in the game, including physical attacks.

What? Phys resist counts as all resists... Look at my screenshot, physical resist is the same as the rest. I'm looking at getting more armour right now, and life on hit I think. How much armour do you have?

The problem is I also use a melee attack which gives me 16% dodge on hit, so when I'm doing that I really don't know the benefit of what the dodge perk will give me, it may even drop to like 6-7% from 15%, and if I attempt to stack dex more? You get the idea, diminishing returns will lower the dodge rate to such a point where it's useless to take it. The benefit of 2 melee weapons, though, is that I can get more +life on hit, which would be amazing.

You can get life on hit on rings and amulets - Say around 400 on amulet and 200+ on each ring.

What passives / skills are you rolling with? assuming fists of thunder with dodge rune but what else? :)

I didn't but I do now, I dont ahbe any other modern Blizzard games other than this and SC2, so wasn't up to speed with the authenticator, but I've setup so its needed on each sign in now.

I'm trying, but only got about 100k's worth of gems and my items were worth well over a few million on my lev59 Barb :(

Get on the diablo 3 website, and find the customer service area and put a request for being hacked. It will take a couple of days but they will roll back your account to the day before you were hacked. It is not recommended to continue playing with any characters while they do this as they cannot merge any changes you make now with the previous snapshot.

why didn't they just put an authenticator in the box with the game? if their system is so unsecure without one that they needed to even make an authenticator they should be shipping one or details about the app with each game and on the back of the box!

Erm, why is it Blizzards problem if people can't correctly secure their account details?
