And weapon speed doesn't impact proc rate

Worse ratio yes. But it's a -100 mr check magic dot. If it lands, it does more damage than the claw.

Just use the monk spreadsheet here? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

Thank you for the link to the monk spreadsheet. How are the values calculated?
The formulas are hidden.

Vulak weapon (Tolan's) is largely a flop because it's very similar to Swiftwind (worn haste) and then it has worn AC rather than the worn ATK of swiftwind.

Add in an inferior mainhand ratio than Baton of Flame, as well as lacking a proc, and you're left with a pretty bad weapon. I guess it's ok for tanking.

baton of flame + kreizenn's flame would be my choice. with that willsapper handy

Aren't monks on a completely different damage table to rangers? I suspect there are other differences too, when me and my friend were level 30 my ranger with 160 str would hit for 32 using a 16 DMG weapon, whereas my friend's monk with 92 str would hit for more like 50 using a 14 DMG.

We were surprised for that difference, which was supplemented by the monks vastly superior weapon options! After being limited to the worst weapons in classic it seemed monk itemisation went insane with Kunark!
