Mnk: Which weapon, which hand?
 

Got a Jade Mace and a Addy Club, which do I put in my primary, also what should I be aiming for as far as upgrades.

I currently dont have a 2hand blunt atm. used to have a ifs, but lost it somehow lol

FYI I am level 42

how much time did you save by omitting the o in monk?

My recommendation would be to trade addy club for SoS, then go jade mace main / SoS off. I suppose if you're tanking/soloing the stun club is nice, but if you're going to be raiding you really dont want to be pulling aggro off of the main tank with a stun proc. Just my 2cp.

I also really hate the way the club looks.

If you're set on keeping what weapons you have, addy club in main will give you more stun procs. Jade mace in main will benefit more from main hand damage bonus with more swings.

The proc for the addy/sos only starts at level 50. I mainly solo so this is why I chose the addy over the sos....

I do hope to one day group though and never thought of the agro issue.

So I should put the faster weapons even if its lower damage in my primary hand?

In general you'll want the lower delay of your two weapons in main hand, since the main hand is the only one that receives a damage bonus. You want to be receiving that bonus as much as possible. In your offhand weapon ratio is basically all that matters. This is why with monk epic you'll always use your super fast fist as mainhand and Addy/SoS offhand

Until you reach higher levels and more meaningful damage bonuses, ratio reigns supreme ... and AC ratio is much better than jade mace. I haven't worked out the math just know that there is a tipping point where jade mace primary is better.

AC/JM > JM/AC
AC/JM = JM/AC (tipping point level)
JM/AC > AC/JM ... until lv 60

Fastest primary is not always *best*

Staff of Battle versus Addy Club / SoS on a mid 30s m(o)nk

discuss

Staff of Battle is gross because it weighs 7 stones. However 2 hand is pretty legit for leveling up. Can do just as well with a Wu Quivering staff for like 100pp if you don't mind the weight.

Peace Bringer is my personally fav pre-epic but it also has a gross weight

was thinking about buying an IFS or something is that lighter? i know the ratio is woker

IFS> AC/sos?
