IFS. I am disappoint.

[EQBallzz]

So a scraped and scrounged my plat from my alts and got a good deal on an IFS for my 40 monk thinking that would be a solid weapon to level through the 40's with. However, for some reason the IFS seems to suck. Looking at my combat log seems to indicate frequent misses which is really sucky for such a slow weapon so I'm guessing this is the cause of the sucking.

I didn't parse my DPS but just based on my time to kill on dark blue mobs in Sol A I was getting far superior results with JM/trance stick and even somewhat better results with just my cheapo Wu's Quivering Staff.

My 2h skill is almost max for my level (I think 205 is max and I'm at 200). So I'm wondering if this weapon is just not good for my level or does it just require haste to compensate for the misses? I have no worn haste yet (that was my next project).

I think my money might have been better spent on an SoS to go with my JM but now I'm broke! I figured I would wait until 50 to get an SoS so I could benefit from the proc but maybe that was a mistake.
