Dex and agi are literally almost useless for a monk.

Agi hardly affects ac at all, and does NOT modify your dodge/parry/riposte skills in any way.

Dex does nothing for you. It doesn't make you hit more often. It doesn't affect your ATK (your most important stat in melee combat). Not sure what level you are, but i'd imagine if you're anywhere over 30 you'd know this by now....?

OP, HP > AC > Str > resists > everything else, although some will argue that its HP = AC > str > resists > everything else

anyone who tells you something other than those two things is absolutely flat out wrong. There are no monks that go for dex or agi, except *MAYBE* monks looking to proc more on tstaff, though I very much doubt even in that situation they would go for dex, since 2hander procing supposedly works differently than 1hander proccing (Don't quote me on this, please, as i'm not sure if its true or not. I DO know that with 1handed weapons they pretty much universally have the same rate of proc, and its basically going to be once a minute at 100dex, 1.5 at 150, and 2 at 200. Apparently there are some weapons that have a higher proc rate than this, but again, don't quote me on ANY of this as the knowledge was obtained second hand from another thread and I know I'm not remembering everything correctly. This is just an outline)

So, yeah, dex/agi useless, make sure you keep your weight down. You're basically good to go with the gear you have right now. IFS rocks the fucking house and I'd use it over your one handers for a long time (possibly even until you get your epic)
