Monk 2hb trick (with epic)
So I've been experimenting with a strategy I read about. I have an IFS that I carry around for mobs with dmg shields and for riposte disc. Usually I use epic/SoS solo or grouping. The strat involves using IFS and unequipping to use offhand epic hit then re-equipping. At first I thought this would only be viable if I very obsessively timed the IFS swap in/out, but to be honest simply taking a more relaxed approach it seems to beat my epic/SoS combo.
Epic/epic is worse than Epic/SoS, but not by a lot.
IFS for a primary ratio (if you could offhand as well) is nuts. Tossing the IFS in for a quick 2hb single/double attack then quickly popping it back in primary effectively gives me a near permanent offhand 9/16 with an every so often 38/40 primary single double ... and probably 2/3 of the time I'm just dual wielding 9/16s. I know with perfect timing it'd probably work best if I swung my IFS every time I could, but that's too much work.
Thoughts? IFS seems to be ideal for this as it has a 40 delay and a big ass whopping hit.
I haven't parsed it, but like I said it certainly feels like mobs are dropping much faster solo, and I lose a lower percentage of my health per mob, thus decreasing down time.
