[diablo 3 guide]after the updating of diablo 3 patch 1.0.7, the monk gets super powerful immediately. the reason is undoubtedly the greatly improvement of wave of light. the damage increased from 390% to 829%, nearly tripled. it is not less than the barbarian’s hammer of the ancients in patch 1.0.5!
there always has a latent rule among blizzard’s games: one patch one god.
question: how to maximize the damage of wave of light for monk?
answer: the best choice is to choose a weapon with high weapon damage. two-handed weapons have no choice but to choose skorn-legendary two-handed axe.
key coins for choosing weapons: high dexterity, life steal, high critical hit damage. (you can choose vitality. if you are a pvp player, i recommend you to choose a two-handed weapon with low critical hit damage and high vitality.)
question: then what’s the basic stats of monk’s items at present?
answer: damage 20w , attack speed 1.8% , critical hit damage 450% , dexterity 2500 , vitality 1000 , armor 7000 , critical hit chance 50% .
these numerical values are basically the standard monk in patch 1.0.7. you can play diablo 3 even though in 1~10pp monster power, it is just the problem of efficiency. but in pvp arena, the requirement for vitality would be higher. what you see in the pvp arena now is you second kill me or i second kill you, but it is not. there is no second-kill in high-end pvp. because the vitality is very high, the concept of second-kill does not exist.
question: what kind of build should be collocated with the two-handed weapons?
answer: here i would like to recommend you a set of more mature two-handed attack speed wave of light build.
in fact, there is no especially big change on skills selection. just putting the wave of light as a output skill on the table.
