Advice from expert Monks

[Sarius]

I posted this in the melee forum but then i realised that nobody reads it, so...

I need some help deciding what to get!

I'm currently lvl 20 and my relevant equipment includes, Peacebringer, RBG, Hiero cloak, 52k, and epic. My options are:

A) RGB, Hiero Cloak, and PP for CoF and TBB

B) RBG + PP for RBB

C) T Staff

D) SoS and Addy Club

I'm looking for the most long term viable upgrade that will also help me to solo most effectively.

Thanks for your time and input!

How do you have that amount of plat and gear and aren't familiar enough with the game to know what to buy?

I already have a Fungi. My other slots don't really need to be upgraded save for what I had mentioned in the original post.

I am very familar with the game, but new to the Monk class specifically. This is why I asked for advice from people that know what they're talking about versus going out and making the wrong move. I'm sure that any of the options I listed would be fine and dandy, but I am really looking for the most beneficial.

I would definitely just keep the RBG and grab an SOS. Leave some plat left over for something else. Maybe grab a djarns ring and hardened clay bracelet or something. With epic your best dps is generally accepted to be fist in main hand and sos in secondary. Some will argue that tstaff is better but I prefer fist/SOS and in my personal parses that has come out higher than tstaff dps.

The COF etc would be nice upgrades but I think you'd be better suited just keeping some plat on hand and buying an SOS.

Undergeared for your level, imo.

it's splitting hairs in the lower levels

weapons and haste matter more than anything, so whichever option gets you CoF and ad club/SoS or Tstaff

edit: this is assuming you have a fungi already, because that would priority #1

[Sarius]

Thanks for all the input. My main concern with switching to a CoF is all the stat loss to gain an extra 9% haste. Is 9% extra haste really that impactful?

Compared to RBG/Hiero, CoF/TBB would give me:
+1ac +3str +5agi +9% haste -3dex -12sta -50hp

Haste is capped at 50% til lvl 49 it looks like. No need to upgrade that for another 30 levels or so

[Sarius]

Genius! So what i'm getting from this is that I should wait til 50+ to get my CoF and just use RBG + RoTWF in the meantime, right?
