Hey, so I recently picked up an FBSS, but had to sell my Staff of Battle to afford it. Just wondering now if I should get an IFS or a Peacebringer, and if either of them with an FBSS do more dps than my Adamantite Club and SoS combo? Thanks!

Epic Fist/sos > tstaff > Ada/sos ... Forget those 2 handers imo

Did you not read what he said? He sold his Staff of Battle to afford a FBSS. That means he doesnt have money for Epic or club/SoS or Tstaff. Go with Peacebringer though.

If you are lower level (sub 50) and soloing, stick with 2-hander to increase riposte damage and to reduce the amount of damage your taking from enemy riposte.

for my soloing monkey I chose IFS. Peacebringer soo heavy. But who knows if weight is even that important.

My bad, I forgot to mention my level. I'm level 46.

stick with ada club and sos till epic, then bag the club till you need it for tanking agro which tends to happen alot for monks

PB>IFS at level ~43, but the difference is only 1% at level 46 and only 3% at 60. So if you are choosing it as a tanking weapon in groups, consider the IFS for weight and taking less damage from damage shields and ripostes.

The Adamantite Club + SoS combo does more damage than either of these starting in the low-mid 30s.

And though you didn't ask, the Adamantite Club + SoS combo becomes more DPS than SoS x2 right about your level.

Sorry missed the last part but he still doesnt have money for epic or Tstaff. If i were him i would just stick with club/SoS though unless you tank alot then get a PB.

I'd go for the peacebringer over the IFS. That 40 delay with RNG will drive you crazy if its your main weapon - even with FBSS haste.

I run the AC/SoS combo for DPS and for Tanking (More swings+proc=more aggro) and keep an IFS (lightweight) bagged for Damage Shield mobs.

Just my 2 cents as a 51 Monk

k I got one more question, what about Ada club + Ada club? Since I'm closing in on 50 (48.5) and that's when the Ada club starts proccing stun, should I use 2 of those to maximize my stun potential?

No, SoS ratio is too good, and why would you want to stun and draw aggro? You won't really be soloing after 50.

And I just realized the Ada Club is lore anyway, so that wouldn't work out :P
