Monk Weapons?

[alexandervaccaro]

Say I have a monk with a Knuckleduster, Jade Mace, and Wu's Trance Stick. Which is the most effective combination of weapons,
pre and post 35?

From what I've read, you should basically stick with the Jade Mace and KD, and take the Trance stick out of the equation.

For one, even when the proc rates were insanely high, the Trance Stick didn't make up for the ratio of the Jade Mace. And now, with proc rates being lowered (from what i hear), I'm doubting it could really compete at all.

As far as which to go with. I think, as long as you are a level that gets damage bonuses, go with JM/KD. The logic is that they will both have the same damage bonus, but with Jade it will be added more times. And you will be doing higher damage with your off-hand with the KD.

I might be wrong about some of the above, but at least that's the way I've heard it. I'm currently using the JM/KD combo at 42 and liking it a lot.

+1 for JM+KD

Even if the trance stick can compete DPS wise post 35, which I'm not sure that it does, the consistency offered by using ratio damage over proc damage is better IMO.

I would say it would depend on whether you were trying to keep aggro or not. If not, just go straight up dps with the JM primary and KD secondary. Switch in the Wu's Trance Stick at level 35 if you're trying to hold aggro.
