I had a ridiculous amount of fun playing my HC monk last night. Started out on Hard and ended by killing Belial on Master (with a barb). I was nervous about that fight but it's a lot less scary now. I found several legs, including an Obs Zod ring that got donated to another player in the group. Also found a new EF, but it lacked a socket (brim).
I did end up equipping 2 orange upgrades. The Gladiator Gauntlets are fun, although I end up running backwards frequently after the massacre bonus. There's something fitting about getting so much joy from the Death Watch Mantle shoulders which were so disappointing to find previous to 2.01. The Fan of Knives proc really adds to my DPS and it's always fun to see. I also crafted some new bracers; although I lost crit chance, I gained +holy damage. I'm happy with that switch for now.
The paragon XP was good, as I gained 2 levels. My Pool of Reflection bonus is now pinned to the right side of my bar-even after leveling. I lost some all resist with the new gear, but still felt tanky enough. As others have mentioned, Fire Chains seems like the most dangerous affix at the moment.
