I'm lvl 59 monk and act 4 hell. The fastest I can run through acts 1-3 is when I got a barb with me. We mow through everything, I have some healing power, and can pull enemies back to me to keep them from running or can blast them away to hone in on a few if there are hundreds swarming us. Wizards are amazing too if you you got a tank with them. My point though, barbs do rather well as long as you know how to equip them.

I agree 100%. However, I still have over 100 hrs logged haha and plan on coninuing many more... I think Blizzard knows this. I was furious to learn though... no character customization what-so-ever... and I loved in d1 how you actually learned spells from scrolls, and d2 you could completely customize your skills by buffing them as you like them, and stat points...

Anyway, agree D3 is a freaking no brainer. I literally ran through normal and nightmare one handed with just the mouse as I have a 4 month old that refuses to let me sit him in his bouncy chair when my wife is away.

I just love how blizzard always says they are trying to make the skills balanced in their hot fixes so that players can completely customize their skill sets and not feel like you "have" to use a particular skill to be useful... BAHH HA HA... oh you mean when I have no choice in what skills I gain nor a choice in which I want to be upgraded? Anyway, I hate to knock it too much because PvP isn't up yet and it is rather fun...

100 fists with fists of fury. quick spirit regen and massive dmg if you have good dps. also is hard for monsters to disrupt or get away because its so fast. There are a few that are pretty good though. i have a 1.91 attack speed so... fists of fury is pretty sweet.

Currently at the end of act I Hell with my lvl 52 barb.

Armor looks sooo badass



How are my stats compared to your barbs at this point? So far I haven't got any problems with defeating enemies or making progress.
I'm loving Hell difficulty: for the first time, champions are a real challenge! (First pack I encountered had jailer+desecrator+extra health o_O)

I did use lashing tail kick for a while, but because im only on normal, the large kickback meant things took slightly longer to die then I was happy with. I like teleporting into the middle of a group, hitting cyclone strike to suck them in close then hitting sweeping wind and just beating everything to death.

I imagine things will change as I get into harder difficulties lol

Hm, could have sworn I made a post here o.O must have used a swear word without realising it. Sorry mods! ^^ (unless I closed the window without posting. No idea. I need to wake up xD)

As I was saying... exploding palm -> burning essence. SO MUCH FUN. Especially when it chains like crazy

Just killed Hell mode diablo a few hours after hitting level 60! holler back @ me.

Stats with no lv 60 year except MH weapon are...

3464 armor (thats with passive)
10445 Damage without any buffs
str 137
dex 1320
int 339
vit 910

Resists to all (passive used)
180
-did not use mantra healing +20percent instead used spirit regen

1.72 attacks peed only sadly my last few levels have not been kind to my attack speed i was at my highest stock 2.02 with no buffs


ONTO INFERNO yikes!~


ps- i was bragging about how i felt using a 1h and shield was so helpful blah blah in hell mode past lv 50+ well Just for fun i did lv 60 all of act 4 within a few hours not sure how long several deaths but only from some insane 2 groups of elite type fights which i always seemed to aggro damn that Gold digger mob running away! anyways i dual welded my 2 fist weapons all of 60 all of act 4 and kicked tush. Of course this might change in Inferno and I also did not use the +15percent dodge passive which might or might not be better then the dex = armor passive idk. I also changed to hundred fists with windforce all of lv 60 act 4 and i kinda like it really kicked some butt. Massive damage and also a nice cone/distance attack hiddenly built in.

GLUCK monks! you will need it!

Just for reference my 2 weapons atm are 593dps and 495dps

Now i need better gear !

my barb:

Dear god man, find some dye and color that! XD Clownbarb!

I think the barb's facial expression goes well with how awful looking that armor is
