After going to a in inferno with my Wiz, I decided to roll a Monk. Gonna take a little while to reach 60 but I'm hoping I can use my monk to better get through inferno to beast up my Wiz gear.

went through the same exact phase you're going through now a couple of days ago. Once I hit 60 I got my 750ish dps crossbow and dropped about 500k on new gear and ended up going from getting one shot in hell to walking through mobs and laughing. I even killed Azmodan on the first try and got like 3 achievements from one fight (not taking damage from minions, killing Azmodan without killing a minion first etc.) It was really fun feeling like nothing could kill me.

That said, inferno on act I still has me not getting one shot and I do enough damage to mow down most elite groups, but nether tentacle is pretty much useless now for returning life. It stills rapes groups of mobs but can't be counted on to save your arse when your kiting champions and all your timers are down for heal abilities.

I use hungering arrow + devouring arrow rune (70% increased damage on when it pierces to the next target) for my hatred generating.

I use nether tentacles for my hatred spending, but prior to that I had always used my double Chakrams.

I may tinker around with switching out the devouring arrow rune for spray of teeth (50% weapon dmg on crit) since I run with sharpshooter, but not really sure as I tend to use nether tentacle attack 90% of the time (things die so fast I rarely run out of hatred when using it).

Honestly man, I just can't get past the benefit of not having to aim an arrow. If I'm kiting a group, I can just shoot straight ahead and the arrow will find something to hit. It's the main reason I don't try a whole lot of other things, and when I do try them I always go back, because I'm forced to aim with the others= attacks

a lot of people seem to think the chakrams suck, but with the dual chakrams, if you can actually learn to aim them at least a little, they just rip up everything. The fact they go through walls is nice also (though I really feel that's a bug and not supposed to be like that)

Yeah I always just hold down shift and fire. frick clicking on mobs to attack..if you misclick you end up running and that is bad.

The chakrams do wreck shite. I alternated between that and multishot mainly, leveling up.

Do you use rain of vengeance at all? The stampede rune caused a nice knockback/stun effect..great for champion packs

Has patch 1.03 gone live yet to dumb down Acts I and II on Inferno?

I sidelined my Barb @ 34 after reading all the shite on the Battle.net forums regarding them end-game to level a Demon Hunter, who is only 37 at the moment (girlfriend takes up all my time ).

Hoping the AH is flooded with items by the time I actually hit 60. FTW!

I did for a little while and in some instances I can see it being very handy, but not often enough to switch it out for what I'm currently using I don't think.

I wish so many skills weren't useless...

Fan of knives...spike trap..sentry (maybe guardian sentry is useful?)

I'm thinking
1-vault
2-caltrops
3-shadow power (dmg reducing)
4-ROV or companion

Then hatred gen/hatred spend on mouse

I use:

1- caltrops (dmg dealing rune)
2- vault (with the next vault in 6 seconds 50% less)
3- preparation (with 30% chance to avoid timer)
4- ferrets

for a while I used a build that was spike trap + caltrops and it worked and was fun, but just not nearly as efficient as my normal build. I tried exchanging shadow power in for one of my others, but I ran out of discipline so damn fast that it didn't matter, and there isn't a ton of "spike" dmg that you can time great with that ability, everything hits like a mack truck all the damn time.

True... I may as well switch out shadow power for prep.

until I get godly level gear... Dhs cant get hit at all... No point in trying to mitigate.

Prep or smoke screen it is.

Both.

I'm using:

1. Prep (Backup Plan)
2. Caltrops (Torturous Ground)
3. SS (Lingering For)
4. Shadow Power (Gloom)

With Evasive Fire (Covering Fire) and Ele Arrow (Nether Tentacles) for the mouse skills.

I'll be honest, I've never looked much in to smoke screen...what does the one your using do? The only reason I use the ferrets are because of the 10% extra gold (not a big deal now with Nephalem's valor) and because they go and pick it up and I'm lazy and don't want to have to do it myself

also...you guys go with bows/x-bows/hand x-bows?

I've built myself up to +250% dmg on crit mixed with sharpshooter and I crit the other day for 112k dmg big numbers make me happy in the pants. (I've only been 60 for a couple of days and haven't saved up enough for an uber dps bow yet)
