I got some lightning resist, and with the Monk's One With Everything passive, that puts all my resists at 200%, but I still think that is too low.
How much resistance does a melee class need to be effective in Inferno?

There have been various debates over the effectiveness of stacking resist. I'd say that it's extremely helpful, but make sure you maintain a decent amount of health and damage. Focus on one resist and take the passive if you want to build this way. Around act II or III, you can reach at least 300 resist (at least 50% resist).
While there may be several viable stat builds, resist is definitely one of the most effective. Why? At the higher difficulties, the only true threats are elite packs and champions that use Arcane Enchant, Molten, Fire Chain, as well as several other damaging skills. Resist helps to counter the majority of these.
