Diablo 3 is fundamentally broken

[Archon_Wing]

700 resist 6k armor and 40k life got me through prepatch act 2 as a monk, though it was pretty annoying against elites. I don't know what kind of stats will save you from those. :p The thing that helps the most is life on hit though. You already have the defense, but you'll need a way to recover your health.

My advice is to buy a 650-700ish dps weapon sword or monk weapon with a socket and 100 +dex-- I see a 720 dps, 100 dex, socketed sword going for 200k atm, and buy a +300 life on hit gem for 600k(Star Amethyst I think). It'll cost around a million gold but it's far superior to the ripoff loh weapons running around the AH. You want a fast weapon. The fastest would be a dagger, but again, a huge ripoff.
