A lot of people have been saying monks are having the hardest time on act 2+. I tried act 2, myself. Got about 3 or 4 monsters in, then died immediately. There's really no way around it at this point than to start buying the really expensive stuff, it seems.
Yeah, i'm at about 600k myself, though I'm wondering if the calc is a little misleading for the monk. Seize the initiative is listed as a separate checklist item, which means I'd be double-counting my armor if I put in the armor value listed from my inventory while that passive is set. Upon correcting this, it would seem I'm now lacking in armor more than resistance. Blah.Assertn that calculator was awesome. So the guide tells me i have 735k EPH with dodge.
