Cheap Ultimate Monk Setup Idea!

[frodzet]

Greetings,

Don't know if this has already been posted.

So last night when i was in my bed i was thinking about how a monk simultaneously to a high dps could have a high defensive effect but for less than 500k Gold. And then i remembered the skill One With Everything and it hit me. So far gear with high Dexterity, Vitality and All resistance is not much very much bang for the buck, having less than a million gold its a pain in the ass to reach a high DPS while having ultimate survival. Then i was searching for some different stuff, Dexterity, Vitality and One Element resistance instead of all, i went to the Auction House and found that these stuff were really cheap i bought a pair of boots for 15k gold having 59 resistance to poison, 174 dexterity and 92 Vitality. So considering all our stuff filled with Resistance to Poison only lets say we have around 500 in all(actually not that a big deal to have that high amount, using this method) when we now use One With Everything we will grant the following resistance:

Physical Resistance - 500
Cold Resistance - 500
Fire Resistance - 500
Lightning Resistance - 500
Poison Resistance - 500
Arcane/Holy Resistance - 500

This means that we will get loads of resistance, vitality(life), dex(dps) and our only hard payed items will be our weapons.

Yes i know that IAS, Crit Chance and Crit dmg is important aswell - but you can be very lucky to find items like 115 dex, 10-15% ias and 20-40 poison resist for a few k gold or crit chance or crit damage.

umm... this is more than common sense...

#2 i have not yet seen a monk using single elemental resistance over the resistance to all.

What? We all do that. This is very much common sense...

I flip these items sometimes . Makes some nice money.

Update: If you use One With Everything and searching for "+Resistance All" AND "+Resistance X" you get DOUBLE the benefit! Elite please!

Then you haven't looked, because any even remotely decent monk is using Resist All + 1 resist, to get over 1k resist all, which trumps the puny 500 which is worthless in inferno.

No, because we use single elemental resistance TOGETHER WITH resistance to all, you know to get double effect.
For example, my gloves gives 51 physical resist and 65 resistance to all elements, that's effectively 116 resistance from only one piece of equipment.

You either:

A. Have not seen many monks.
B. Have only seen terrible monks.

Every monk with more than three brain cells uses One With Everything, and each monk specifically stacks one resist. Mine is arcane. I've found most people tend to shop for physical and poison. I'm really sad by the overall lack of common sense the posters on these d3 forums have had.

Also if you can find gear with dual resists, as in 1 for poison and 1 for every resistance, it stacks up so look for that type of gear as well. Although its usually pretty expensive.
