Definitely undergeared. I've spent more like 7-10 million on equipment, which isn't really all that much compared to some. Armor is around 6.9k, DPS 23k (27k when dual-wielding), resistances 780. I had difficulty surviving sometimes until I pumped up the resists, as at around 600 a mere second in desecration would kill me. I changed my Mantra to the Healing one with the extra 20% on resists rune, and Act II went from challenging to easy, and Act III from very difficult to challenging.

Anyway, you'll have the same issues no matter what character you take if you don't spend any gold on gearing up. Unless you have infinite patience, in which case you can spend 10x the time kiting every single pack and playing completely defensively, which is possible, or so I've heard.
