which earrings should i be using as a monk?

[supermonk]

i'm not sure if I should swap based off the situation or not. I've maxed STR with FOS btw.

the three earrings are:
earring of essence
living thunder earring (I have bracer of the hidden)
sanctum guardian's earring

I've put the eoe in my bag for now. thoughts?

Bag living thunder for eoe assuming sanctum isnt better(i cant recall the stats)

30 hp > 10 str tho esp if ur capped

Never gave your level or if you are twinked or not but if you are starting out or low level, then the best earrings I would look at would be Cougar Claw Earring, Orc Fang Earring, Black Sapphire Electrum Earring and Sarnak Earring of Station.

SANCTUM'S GUARDIAN EARRING
AC: 5
STR: +10 STA: +10 CHA: +10 HP: +50 MANA: +80
SV DISEASE: +15 SV POISON: +15

EoE has no AC. Living thunder has 10, which is pretty high for that slot. With those options I think you should keep EoE bagged until you need extra MR, then swap out sanctum. If I could wear sanctum on my rogue, I'd go with that and fingerbone personally and get a net gain on all resists and great overall stats.

I'd wear the sanctum and keep the EoE for MR resist.

is 10AC (thunder earring) better than 30HP (eoe)? if so, why?

[Skew]

10 ac probably better if you are tanking but if you're just DPS class or raiding with AOEing mobs then stacking HPs should be the goal.

Whats your worn AC at?

Monks should not wear earrings. If you get punched in the ear, it could really hurt.

I agree.

First of all - Hit points is the best stat in the game. Full stop. Period.

In a pure grind situation, when not receiving complete heals.. AC is best. In all other aspects of this game HP's are better.

They are however a function of each other, and once you reach around 5k hp buffed I would start considering swapping out the EoE and focussing more on AC. Key word, consider.
