struggling

tried a ranger, got to 13 and ragequit

now on a monk mid-late act 2 and im just dying 4x an area, cannot find any loot/meaningful upgrades, so as a result its just painful and i cant progress =/

would really love some help/advice, my gear is trash and i got nothing so its hard to even farm the zones where im at without losing my patience, especially when its 15 mins an area to find "an orb" or a "dead rare" that comes with 4-5 deaths to even get lol.

the gold i get just ends up being wasted due to "bad rng" :/ im really at a standstill where i feel like i cant progress or enjoy the game
