Raw data on solo monks?

Especially the belt. Because, when you dump res, you will receive crits a lot and are easily interrupted (because of lack of concentration i guess). So, how good is the girdle of mortal protection compared to the cannoneer belt or others? Does it really make a big difference?

Spike damage is the big killer on PotD especially at low levels. In a party you can mitigate with deflection buffs and healing. 

I'm not a fan of dumping con or resolve below 8.

The Girdle of Mortal Protection is good against very high dmg crits (dragon wingslams for example) but against lower dmg crits a blunting belt is better (if it matches the dmg type).

You need to balance against belts that give bonuses to status effects. Being prone, paralyzed or stunned will make you more susceptible to crits

Just keep in mind that unlike Deadfire, item effects in PoE don't stack unless it's an effect on a weapon. Ilfan Byrngar's Solace will stack with Bliadh Golan, but Belt of the Stelgaer does not. Looped Rope would be a viable addition to Blaidh Golan.

I keep that in mind.

My question is, which defense stat does stun // paralyze // petrify // prone target? Stun // Prone is Fortitude i believe and Paralyze // Petrify reflex?

[mr_raider]

It's not that simple. It depends what the ability being used is. For example a ciphers mental binding targets will. Ninagauths shadow flame targets fort. Both paralyze.

There is no general rule.

That's sad. It's more for the battery sirens and the llengrath skirmishers. For the sirens it is easy to just use a lvl 5 scroll, but at the llengrath fight i don't want to waste a slot for this.
