Your CHC is alarmingly low. I personally don't like using unity but instead zodiac so I don't have to worry as hard about yet another affix to track and get allres up.

This has two pieces of baggage attached to it:

1. It requires a certain minimum threshold of skill/effort that you must put in that the extra defense from unity lets you slack on.

2. You will eventually have to sacrifice some +dex by swapping in diamonds on all of your gear to boost your allres. As I said above, I am about at where the break point for lazy RG kills where I need to do that, but not yet at that point for just generally clearing the rift. If last season is a prediction, that break point is around 102/103 with ~5k vit which is where I keep myself to in favor of dumping more focus into dex.

Yeah you need waaay more +crit chance. At least 40%

So I'm just looking for duplicate pieces of the armor I'm wearing, but with a good +Crit Chance roll?

You want crit on your helm, neck, rings, bracers and gloves. If any one of those items doesn't have crit then it's really poorly rolled. Ideally you want critical hit damage on your neck, rings, and gloves as well.

For neck it's acceptable to have % fire damage over crit or critical damage.

Off the top of my head the only stuff that can roll +crit chance are gloves, rings and ammies, so reroll that stuff and dump all of your paragon points into it too.

Oh yeah and your helmet.

RCarr

Cool thanks guys. I'm already maxed out on my paragon Crit, so I'll work on getting some new armor. I have a bunch of duplicates in my stash that may do the trick already!

Don't forget Bracer as well. For reference, Bracer, Helm, and Rings can get a maximum of 6% crit each. Gloves and Neck can get a max of 10%. When evaluating crit chance against crit hit damage, 1% crit chance is equivalent to 10% crit damage. Your current stats are heavily lopsided towards crit damage. This calculation doesn't account for any skills that trigger on critical hits, which shifts the skew towards more crit chance.

There are exceptions to this, but the only one that's really relevant to a bell monk is the Witching Hour belt, which is the only belt in the game that can have Critical hit damage, and can have up to 50%.

So I should prioritize critical hit chance % over everything else at this point?

Are you using Ephiphany in your build? I also played Focus and Restraint Bell monk and didn't run it. As such, I found CDR to be a pretty meh stat but RCR (Resource cost reduction) to be solid. For your current situation, I'd certainly shift towards some crit chance. I'd aim for around 40% crit chance as long as you don't destroy your other stats in the process. More is nice, but might be hard to get on a moments notice.

RCarr
Dec 24, 2007

I don't use epiphany. My main problem right now is not dealing enough damage. My survivability seems fine, and I rarely run out of spirit, but it just takes too long to kill poo poo at GR90, especially the rift guardian. Seems like +Crit Chance % would solve that. I'm hitting 2+ trillion damage on my crits, I just need more of them.

OK, just got a fairly crappy Ancient leg drop for Inarius at P416, but it's my first actual upgrade since about 240, so that's nice.
Hopefully it won't be another 175 P levels before I get another upgrade.

If you want to minimize your rng luck you need to be farming mats for targeted reforging. if that's not your thing then yeah, your time spent sharding a billion pieces of poo poo is going to be high.

Joining public games for bounties is the best way to do it. Takes about 15 minutes per set. Just put a TV show or something on in the background.

Public bounties saved bounties for me, because trying to make a goon group vs soloing 5 acts was like trying to choose the lesser of two evils

Does everyone get a cache in their inventory after one person talks to tyreal? This might even be low enough in social interaction for me

Yeah, it doesn't even matter where you're at, cache gets plopped into your inventory.

Unless your inventory is full then the cache just falls on the ground.

So, between last night and today I've gotten 2 more upgrades - an Ancient weapon (still fairly crappy, but whatever) and a decent Ancient chest.
Good enough to push up to T12, at any rate.

What’s more important, socket or CHC? I have a non ancient that has a socket, but no CHC.

Since that spec doesn't need CDR, I'd grab crit chance. I'd convert the all res to the crit, since a bit of LoH is handy.

For reference, here's my F&R Bell Monk. I've managed to clear GR 100 with this set-up.
