Important Diablo 3 Monk Inferno Attributes

DEXTERITY

• Primary attribute for Demon Hunters and Monks.
• Increases all damage for Demon Hunters and Monks by 1% per Dexterity point.
• Increases Dodge chance by 0.1% per Dexterity point.

INTELLIGENCE

• Increases resistances by 0.1% per Intelligence point.

VITALITY

• Increases Life, allowing more damage to be taken before dying.
• Each point of Vitality increases life by 10.

When playing the Diablo 3 Monk Inferno mode, you’ll need to note that the main attributes of the Monk are Dexterity, which increases all damage by 1% per point and Dodge by 0.1% per point, and Vitality which increases Life by 10 for each point. As secondary, Intelligence is a decent stat but only fulfills one purpose: resistances increase which some Monks might prefer, although there won’t be many players that will prefer sacrificing Dexterity and Vitality for Intelligence when designing their Inferno build.

Another thing every player should know in Diablo 3 Monk Inferno mode is that there is a Monk passive that increases several stats and provides certain effects only if certain types of items are wielded: The Guardian’s Path, passive which is unlocked at level 10. Because of the Spirit generation effect increase, it is usually recommended for the Monk to use two-handed weapons if he is playing a Spirit intensive build. If your resource management is flawless, the extra 15% dodge chance while dual wielding is an excellent survivability bonus.
