My Monk is alright and didn't take long to make in RoS: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Craig-2196/hero/1630157. Does T3 comfortably. Hasn't got anything special as I switched to Barb and have played him more in RoS, but still an alright char.

The set item buffs for Monks seem to be good, still not as good as the other classes though. I was a monk since day 1 and would love to go back to mine, but they're just underpowered and not as fun as other classes at the moment. I can see some major buffs/changes to them in 2.1 though, looking forward to it :)

Currently just about the only use for an end game monk is the exploding palm build in a group.

But, for you in particular wilber, for now just do rifts and bounties on the highest level you can and get some legendaries. Raise all your stats in general and hopefully along the way you'll get lucky and get some set items. Really depends how much time you can/want to sink into the game as to what build you can realistically aim for.

A few good items that will boost your character massively are Thunderfury and/or Shard of Hate (weapons), Thundergod's Vigor (belt), and Reapers Wraps work nicely on a monk (you will have the crafting recipe from Malthael)

Depends what you want to play really. The two main options for Monk at the moment (ignoring zdps) are Lightning and Fire. Fire has the max DPS output potential, but Lightning has more CC (Crowd Control) potential.

The other build is pure Lightning as you can tell, I've gone the fire route - link below.

Oh, and a piece of advice - I'd keep your hands on all set items at the moment to see what happens in 2.1. Don't bother with hoarding normal Legs though, a Blue Post has said that whilst they're planning changes, Leg changes won't be retrospective.

I played the trial through to killing the Skeleton King. It then said I needed to buy the game to continue playing.

I purchased a key for Diablo 3 from eBay which was silly cheap! Entered the key and it then let me continue with the story from where I left off. It didn't put me back to the start of Act1 progress wise.

I then purchased a key for RoS expansion off eBay for silly cheap. Put it this way, I got keys for D3 and RoS for about £5 less overall than Blizz were wanting just for D3..... All hail the dude from China selling cheap keys!

How cheap are we talking here? :p

Recently gone back to have another play through the trial version, and fancy buying the game, but thats £80 with the expansions, which is a bit steep i think, especially with my WoW sub as well, id only be playing a few hours here and there, but do think its a game i would enjoy

I don't know about under £5 but u can certainly get db3 + ros for around £35 - £40 tops
 
So I finished ACT 3 and 4 This morning, Act 3 felt a bit long winded for me, and Act 4 wasnt long enough, but it was very good :)

So brought the expansion now lol and working my way through that.

I love the cut scenes, think they are awesome to watch.

I think.. im done? One more Unity to stick on Templar and I reckon im there!

Nice gear however double unity is really not needed on a WD for t5/t6 if your running a pet build, personally if it was me, swap the Unity for a SoJ, also i use the Rhenho like you but i also have a Sunkeeper and i think you may get more mileage out of the extra +elite dmg on t6 than the Rhenho, i need to test this myself however.

Pretty much the only thing that kills me on t6 is ground effects if im too lazy to move fast enough, unity will help a bit with those though.

ALso the Ukh Serpent, i find it a bit overrated, i run with mine on t6 and then switchd back to my TOTD and i actually found TOTD more reliable as the pickup radius on globes meant i often only needed to move a fraction to mitigate any damage and heal back to full.

I say give it a try on t6 first with what you have, if you have a SOJ swap your unity and try it, if you find your dying too much then wait til you get another Unity and try again, i think you will find however though by stacking enough +fire if you use that element or +phys or whatnot that you will plow through t6 anyhow.
 
I am leveling a crusader at the moment as there is not much left to do with my Barbarian. I would like to do some T6, is it possible without Unity on a Crusader? What sort of build / gear should I be looking for?
 
Slightly off topic but said I would pop a picture up to a few of the guys on Overclockers Social this morning :)

Meh, lost my demon hunter to a lag spike last night :( Still got my crusader running torment 3 at the moment. Seems like the only chance of him dying so far is to another lag spike, unless maybe I stand in bunch of arcane orbs for a while. It's SO tanky. I was tanking 3 champion packs and a blue pack last night and my hp barely dropped below 90% rofl. So ridiculous.
 
So its been a fun week playing D3, finally got too lv70 and so far its been great. Started with a Demon hunter, it seems very squishy but pretty fun too play, thinking to play this till I get a decent Paragon level then I will start making some alts.

Anyways do you guys have some advice on what items I should start aiming towards getting, and what skills are best for Rifts, I can handle Torment 1 okish so far, only really die from the lasers when I'm not paying attention.

No point in aiming for specific gear, it won't increase the chances of getting it lol.

Ahh ok, but in general what type of weapons and status should I aim for, being reading a few guides and so on and it looks like a lot of people aim for Fire damage, have no healing in gears, crit and attack speed are also important.
 
Im currently gearing my DH, going for Marauders set to have a Sentry Build, you can kinda aim for specific gear by gambling those slots on Kadala, it can and probably will take a lot of shards to get the parts you need though.

The build im after usese 5 pieces of Marauders, Taskers gloves and Bombadiers rucksack.

I have some good SOJs but the trouble is it's basically a perfect Unity :( Hard to replace. I'm fairly happy at the moment. Until i get Maras Kaleidoscope im relying on leaching beasts too much to swith from Physical to Fire.
 
My DH:

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/HungryHippos-1751/hero/35790469

Cons gave me an awesome Bombadiers yesterday (<3)!

I got 10% sentry after a few rolls, I think I will leave it there for now as I think I would need 30-40M gold to have a real crack at getting a higher % with any chance of success.

I accidentally gambled for Marauders gloves last night whilst trying to get shoulders. Clicked gloves once by mistake and boom! Marauders gloves lol. My Marauders legs are missing a socket but I had some useless skill there instead, I figured 400-500 vita was better than rolling the socket instead to x2.

I should be able to literally roll my SOJ from Str to Dex too, I don't think I re-rolled it yet. I clearly still need some upgrades though.

If anyone is up for running some rifts tonight I am happy to do some. I am geared for somewhere around T4 I reckon.
