1-30, I would use 1h weapons. And since leveling 30-50 SoS x2 is the most dps you can do, I would start there. Even though you're applying the 1-8 (depending on level) damage bonus so less often, the ratio makes up for it. Everyone always says too slow without doing the math. And at 28 delay, you take less damage from ripostes and damage shields which is the big sell for 2H at those levels anyways.

I also like IFS over PB. And you keep that IFS forever (until you get better) for damage shield mobs you can't or don't want to dispell.

And yes, I also think Seahorse belt is the best haste bang for the buck.

so dual wield SoS is essentially the best DPS 1-50? First I've heard that in the thread, not opposed to it but no other 1hbs reasonably priced match that power?

no, dual wield SoS is not the best dps 1-50. RFS is.

2nd would be T Staff with weapon swap to h2h between swings.

Also need to take into account damage taken.

Even if SoS is marginally better dps, you're going to take far less damage w/ IFS, which should equate to more XP / hour and that is the only thing that actually matters.

Once the damage caps are lifted IFS will beat 2x SoS. You might get some unlucky fights with misses that frustrate you, but you’ll also get some amazeballs fights where shit melts.

Averaged over time IFS is the 2nd best non-raid dps weapon in the game (best being TStaff). I’m ignoring peacebringer which … while also good … is heavy as shit for a monk.

Either of those 2handers will beat out epic fist + scepter of mastery from Kael.

Peacebringer is great for 20-30, why use IFS with sub-30 damage cap?

Do people honestly care about weight limit sub-50?
