Which means dual wield is the way to go?

Assuming that you have high dex, then yes.

Lv 44ish Monk I actually forget lol, I have been DWing the entire time I tried 2h a few times never gave a shield a chance because we just do not need it up to this point in the game. You have to be on your toes from time to time and yes DWing is the best way to go. We need combos and spirit generators to proc nonstop I use lots of good old spirit to spice things up or just to drop lots of bells! You will know what I mean as you progress in the game.

Again I can only speak for lvs 1-45ish so far they have been a blast and easy just watchout for chains, lazers that go pew pew, holds, poison clouds and fire blobs they hurt = poison is only thing that killed me once!

Right thanks. For computation purposes, how does DWing produce more DPS than using one-hand + shield? I thought the effective DPS of two OH weapons is the average of both?

Do you guys recommend that I equip any two weapons that has the highest DPS? No need to be exactly the same?

You alternate attacks but get a +15% atk spd bonus.

I say use similar weapons or you might hurt your DPS. 51 monk going fist and shield.

How are OCN people liking barb?

Thinking about focusing on a new char. Kinda bored with Monk.

By similar, you mean exactly the same specs?

Barb is the ish, nuff said

Apparently he sucks in inferno, however. I have yet to get there, personally.

Here's my current DH build. Any suggestions for inferno? I'm currently lvl 59 in act 3 of hell.

My current wd build. Using the dogs that share life with me and got the zombie handler so I have 4 dogs out and taking less damage overall.
Gargantuan is a great tank while the dogs soak up my damage.

Spirit walk with mana ruin for an easy get away and obviously moar mana.
Soul harvest for a free heal and increased int for damage.

Then my fav spell is the dire fire bats. Insane aoe damage nuke that I can cast a good amount of times before having to spirit walk. For bosses tho It kinda sucks and I usually trade haunt in for it.
Normal spell = poison darts with the splinters glyphed, the only reason I use it as I have yet to find another one I like in it's place except the rain of frogs but they cost to much mana.

Any recommendations, to aid me in building a better build for moving on past nightmare?

Lvl 21 monk here, loving it atm! Got a legendary fairly early on, sold it on the auction house as it was worse then the gear I already had at the time, and I could use the gold for other stuff.

Im finding monk fairly easy, im a complete diablo noob and I have died once because I wasnt really watching what I was doing, but with some of the skills ive got now, I dont think ive seen my health drop below 50% since I hit lvl 15.

Its also worth noting, I think fists of thunder + thunderclap rune will let you teleport even if you are snared - ive only been snared once so far, so I cant confirm.
