200k Build |16.5k DPS, 496 Resists All, 1k LoH, 29% Crit, 150% critical hit damage, 1.71 attack speed

I show you EXACTLY how to search the Auction House to pick up the BEST pieces for the BEST bargain and build an AMAZING set of gear for just 202,000 gold! This set can EASILY clear Acts 1 and 2 Inferno and with a little tweaking can make progress in Act 3. The best part? I’m giving the whole set away to a lucky person. Come inside to learn more.

Picture of the entire set I purchased for 202,000, hit like to reveal or click on the link below to visit my forums. To WIN THIS WHOLE SET just post in the thread linked below!

To win this set just post in this thread on my forums: http://www.thehealthygamer.com/forum/showthread.php?260-FULL-MONK-SET-29-crit-1k-LoH-496-resist-all-1-71-attack-speed-150-crit-hit&p=1866#post1866

This is one of those posts where the video explains things infinitely better than I can by writing, so I’d highly recommend watching the video accompanying this post. First, credit needs to be given to youtube user Jipptomilly who already made a 200k challenge video, here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEoUKqg6SdA he did a great job. That’s where I got this idea from, and after seeing his video I thought I could improve upon it and build a much more DPS oriented build that would still be amazing for Act 1 and 2.


Search Parameters

Helm, Gloves, Bracers – You want to search for dexterity, all resist, and critical hit chance and set a buyout price for your budget, I used 10-20k here. And then just keep tweaking the numbers until you get a reasonable number of queries. The best items in these slots would also include vitality, and gloves with critical hit damage/attack speed are great too if you can find them at a reasonable price.

Amulets, Rings – You want to search for rings and amulets with either attack speed and life on hit, or critical hit chance and life on hit. If you can’t find any rings like that within your price range search for rings/amulets with attack speed or critical hit chance and dexterity and all resist, or dexterity and vitality.

Chest, Legs, Belt, Boots, Shoulders - You’re looking for items here with just the best stats you can find in dexterity, vitality, and either all resist or the specific resist you choose to stack. In the video I chose lightning just because one piece of armor I bought in the beginning had all resist and lightning resist.

Weapons - You want weapons with + critical hit chance and a socket, or +life on hit and a socket. That is the cheapest combination. Finding weapons with dexterity, vitality too is a bonus.

  • watson

    Wow, I think this require a bit of luck to bid with low price and no one to complete with or over look you bid item.

    • The Healthy Gamer

      It does require some patience and luck, but then that’s part of the AH game.

  • maljin

    Thank you for doing these clever gear/build guides

  • Talik

    What build would you recommend for Act 2? I currently have about 390 resistance and ok armor, all around ilvl 62. I can easily farm Act 1, but get lit up immediately in Act 2. I am using your thunderclap/cyclone/evasion build with the other mink must haves….any tips?

    • The Healthy Gamer

      Go look in my monk builds I’d use the survival/dps build.

  • Khoa Vu

    Hey pal,

    Off Topic: have you tried bbPress? It integrates with WordPress much better and the design is more question/answer oriented with much much cleaner layout and concept.

    To relate to this post, people who post comment here could also have a synchronized comments under the same topic in bbPress, so there you can have a better control of your randomization of giveaways, without worrying about people not reading the actual enrollment guidelines.

    Cheers, and have fun.

  • matbak

    I’ve noticed that ripoff merchants on the AH have now started to increase the price for anything that has attack speed.. Especially for rings and amulets…
