Gear makes things easier, but kiting is still absolutely necessary and unavoidable, and farming, well...that's the entire point of playing a Diablo game.

Yeah, I know, maybe I got myself in the wrong game... I don't know, I don't exactly mind farming, but in this game good drops are so rare (at least for me), that it just feels like completely wasted time to me, when I could be doing other things I'd rather be doing.

I think I'm already doing so, I mean I started using a while ago what seems to be called a Twister Tank build.

(obviously to beat inferno you do... but not as much)
and before someone flames on the dexterity main shared with DH so high-end gear is more excpensive... I say your wrong, because although higher dex is nice... you don't need super high on each piece of gear for a monk.

Will check that build out, and see if it works for me.

I'll check that out too, seems pretty good, I hope something at all works, I'm so tired of dying.
Oh and thanks for all the help.



















Took me quite a bit to beat Belial though and ended up doing it with a friend. I want to get to a point where I can kill the elite groups easy enough in Act 3 though. I hate to just let them go especially when they have the best loot. Not sure if it is just my bad luck getting crappy affixes or what, but I've only been able to take out about 3 groups so far in Act 3...and had to work at those also.
