Color me impressed: I managed to get a HC monk to clvl 56, but died in HA2. I'm not opposed to playing HC in D3, but none of my friends do and that leads me to push for P100 on my WD during solo time. At some point I'll probably switch over to HC full time, but not yet. (That said, if anyone is interested in starting an HC group...)
I'm now at P48 and have stuck with the Spirit Barrage/Mass Confusion build while using Gruesome Feast, Grave Injustice, and Blood Ritual. It's a pretty hardy build at MP0, with the most dangerous time for me at the very beginning. If I get an elite phasebeast pack with no dogs, I typically die around 50% of the time (but only once per pack). If I get past that initial starting point, I don't typically die unless I'm careless to a stupid degree-or get one-hit by an elite pack of chargers. DPS is at 45K and I'll bump that up a little with an amulet upgrade at P49 (plus get 5k more life).
I also hit a jackpot sale recently (for me, anyway) on the AH. Funny...I bet I had that amulet in my stash for 2-3 weeks and didn't even realize what I had-only that it would probably sell. Unfortunately, there isn't currently an off-hand upgrade for my WD available on the AH in my (still-limited) price range. I'm probably going to spend the gold on my DH since that's what I typically use in group games for "farming." Maybe I'll get lucky and find the off-hand upgrade on my own (not likely).
