Monk 1hb vs 2hb
 

With the new patch i'm curious how the parses are playing out.

So i did some testing with western wastes mobs. 60 monk 1367 atk. 81% haste. FoN+BoF (108 dps) vs Abasahi (99 dps).

So looks like 1hb is still better but 2hb got a lot closer. I would be interested to see some comparisons with different weapons/levels and some raid monsters.

Let's see what you got.

Id assume on raids 1hb will vastly out dps 2hb due to AC minimizing hits, even with 2h upgrades.

Diamondfist(gharns/fon) and Chillwin(fon/bof) are using 1h. Firfisle (abashi) and Raev(abashi) used 2h.

Weren't mobs meant to have a cap of like 200ac or something until plane of tactics?

Tunare AC is kind of middle of the road, the effect should be even more pronounced w/ AoW.

Can't knock Chillwin's data as long as its accurately parsed.

Although Troxx had an interesting post on damage bonus and 2 handers.

Curious to see what the final result winds up being.


edit: here's a question....were Firfisle and Raev autistically swapping their Abashi's out between swings for fist dmg?

A mix of higher AC and lvl difference.

Misses are also way more disastrous on DPS for slow 2H than 1H

Autistic weapon swapping is essential for 2h use on a monk. If you're not willing to do that, use 1h.
