I got my Monk to 70. Found a Blackthorne's amulet at 67, which is a shame since the stats are lower. If I had more Forgotten Souls, I'd reroll it but it's currently VIT/IAS/Life%/LoH. Combined with its set bonus, it doubles my Toughness from 1.1m to 2.2m which is pineappleed. Hopefully, I can find a 70 version and replace it instead. I can have full Blackthorne's now, but it's meaningless since those effects are so easily dodge-able or just don't break past my shield.
Since my Monk is fresh to 70 though, she still has some legacy and pre-70 gear. Still wearing legacy Witching Hour, Inna's Helm + Pants and Nat's Ring + Boots. I have 136 600 Health Globe Bonus though, and it brings my Mantra of Healing shield up to 68k. I was surprised how high the base shield itself scaled up though, so the impact of having Health Globes on everything isn't as satisfying as in Vanilla. At least managed some half decent rare weapons with sockets so my damage isn't completely horrible, but it's only at around 370k.
