act3 phasing beasts

[dolicsehrant]

I'm getting slaughtered on a regular basis by any champion pack of phasing beasts in act3 inferno.

my monk has 30k hp, 6.8k armor, 830 allresi, 1.57k dex, 35.7% dodge, 15% block,
with 19k dps, 1.35 aps, 10% crit and 50% critdmg
and 1.1k loh but no lifeleech
using this build:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#cYibgk!ZXU!ZcbZYa

do i need more dps, more sustain, a defensive mantra or a switch to thunderclap ?

and how would you handle a champion pack of those with extra health, electrified, arcane enchanted and vortex ?

i cant see your build as this forums somehow always wrecks the Skillpage links however ; Tempest Rush ? really ? put in Thunderclap for it.
you have 1100 Loh thats quite good ; that in combination with thunderclap will give extreme returns in LOH maybe you will even be able to face tank them that way.

for your passives i assume ( i cant see them ) OWE , seize the initiative, and resolve ? if not that would be good :X
i also recommend enchantress for 15% AR and cold debuff

i think Owerawe is fine, your resi are fine. your health could be a ~10 k higher your armor could also be slightly higher ~1-2 k ? but i think thats no biggie :X


your dps could also be higher ... with just 20% critchance and thunderclap you make Sweeping wind : Cyclone strike pretty much the most effective Spiritspender in the whole game ...

[Such Violent Storms]

Tempest Rush, Mantra of Conviction, Deadly Reach, and no Breath of Heaven are your main problems. Second, your attack speed is FAR too low to generate spirit effectively. I recommend 1.6 aps MINIMUM unless you have some godly, godly, slow spear/mace/axe.

Also, do you have a friend you can play with? Monster damage doesn't increase in Infenro when in a party. Health does, but if you have another monk friend, or a barbarian friend, or a Wizard friends, etc, they can provide very useful buffs and you can handle packs easier.
