Will I do more damage as Dual Wield as 42 Monk?
 

So I currently have a Peacebringer and have leveled pretty much my entire monk career as 2hand. First with Wu's Quivering Staff, then upgrading to a Peacebringer after farming all the spiderling silk in the world.

I'm 42 and wondering if I'd do more damage with Dual wielding. I understand how Dual wield suffers a bit more due to Riposte from the mobs, but I can handle that if I gain damage.

If the answer as to whether it is possible to do more damage as dual wield yes, what caliber of weapons would I need as a level 42 monk in order for it to work?

I traded my IFS for AC/SoS around 50 if that helps

That helps. Thanks guys.

i asked the same before, someone posted below and i am able to verify as i level to 54

DPS wise.......Dual wield better up to about 30, then 2hb better until high 40's / 50, then back to dual wield

Get gamparse and check for yourself (Note: Your dps is highly dependant on mob ac and level difference between mob and you )

Try duel wielding peacebringer with offhand!

If you are soloing then I would NOT recommend Peacebringer much at all. That 10 weight is nasty and I always felt like i could see myself taking more damage once i passed that weight cap. Of course you can ignore this if you have ALL the tink bags for the loots

Weight cap ac doesnt mean shit till 52+, go ahead and be 35 weight all the time.

I switched to Adamantite Club/Stave of Shielding at 50. Possibly could have swapped sooner, but they proc at 50. I still keep IFS bagged for DS'd mobs or if I don't want to pull aggro with stun procs.

SoS are so expensive now. IDK. I have such a hard time stomaching 7k for one. That is like most of a chardok metal pipe MQ.

I have been using my IFS still at 51, and my damage seems fine. You guys think IFS prices will skyrocket with chardok 2.0?
