Need some info on gearing my monk

If you don't use Bootshine often / at all, then you want to focus mostly on CRT by a good margin.

If you use Bootshine often [successfully], then you should focus more on DET, with SS and CRT on the side -- all three roughly even overall.

For a balanced approach, mostly CRT and DET, with slightly less emphasis on SS.

Mmm let me just throw in my two cents here. I feel that you should probably never be using bootshine. Bootshine can be a straight DPS loss because the small amount of time it takes to switch from flank>back>flank can cause your rotation to extend making you spend more time dodging mechanics and losing GL stacks.

On stat priorities my opinion goes Determination > Skill speed/Crit. I think you should reach a certain amount of SS (experiment with what works best in your rotation and gives you the best amount of lee-way with mechanics) losing GL stacks is THE BIGGEST dps loss possible that's why SS is so handy.

This is a skill check consideration. You have ~2.0 seconds to move 4 pixels. Shrug.

I kind of see what shes saying though. It makes more sense with how the game is currently with having to dodge multiple aoes, cleaves, etc, which force repositioning for the tank along with dps. Hitting one side is a lot easier than two when trying to land rotations. A lot of enemies also have annoying rear aoes which I would consider as well.
