Yeah bumping up my damage a bit helped, and mostly it's the bad combos of abilities I seem to be getting in caves... one was a smaller mob so it had like 10 burrowing minions, but it had arcane so they ALL cast arcane, in some caves of course so not much room to run. Oh and freeze too.

Took like 15k worth of repairs to finally kill it, and 10 feet past them was the end of the dungeon :/

As a monk you can get 80-100 per resist piece with All Resist + Another secondary resist. I assume you have figured out that you should pick a resist and focus on it, if you need I can further explain.
Yeah I upgraded a few older items with better armor and got +Cold and +All on a few, my resist is over 500 now, and 50k HP, still only 8k dps.

Cool I'll check it out.

Sure I'll do that tomorrow.
