Question Peacebringer vs IFS after *maybe* next patch

I'm sure this has already been discussed somewhere, but couldn't find a clear answer.

Any consensus on which of these weapons (Peacebringer or IFS) will be better after the 2h revamp that will eventually be implemented? I guess also factoring in monks getting triple attack, but maybe not factoring weight as an issue.

Also, any theorycrafting on why and how much one might be better than the other?

Also, how would these parse compared to Epic/SoS?

Looks like peace will do about 3% more damage. So you have to ask yourself is that extra 6 weight is worth that bit of DPS.

IFS if you have any type of haste.

Assuming the damage is a few percent similar, I would go with the IFS for a few reasons: Higher riposte damage for you/fewer ripostes from the monster. Lower damage from damage shield mobs. Weighs less. Looks 100x cooler.

I expect they will be better. As it currently stands (pre-patch) they’re not far behind.

Damage with epic and SoS is virtually identical to the IFS and likewise 3% behind peace.

I had to assume max haste, however, and no accounting for the +20 str on the epic.

Depends on what you be fightin, vs high AC / high level mobs, DW > 2H.

After the next patch a 30 delay 2hander will generate more total damage bonus than 16 delay epic. 11 damage at a time 1.6 seconds (6.88 per second potential) compared to a 30 delay 2hander which applies. 29 damage per 3 seconds (9.66 per second potential) 40 delay will be 34 per 4 seconds (8.55 per second potential).

This issue will be turned on its head. Fast mainhand used to be favored with high level high ac thanks specifically to damage bonus. After the next patch, 2hander actually holds the advantage even when you use the ultrafast 16 delay monk epic fist.

TStaff in particular is going to be a monster of a weapon for those who don’t have access to velious raid level weaponry. IFS and peacebringer will be more budget friendly alternatives that I expect will likewise beat out any dual wield combination below the velious raid level - especially if the monk is level 60 for the mainhand triple attack.
