I've seen the DPS chart, though it seemed to be lacking any sort of haste equation. It's something of an old debate, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Once you're a 50+ Monk, assuming you're un-epiced, which staff would you choose? The why is optional if you feel like leaving me some feedback, thanks :)

IFS has a larger damage variance, PB is more consistent DPS.

Peacebringer is hands down the way to go imo, like Sarius said it is the more consistent dps.

PB also pulls ahead ratio wise starting at level 34 with a damage bonus of 3, and by level 60 it's ratio is about 5.8% better.

how exactly you guys think damage bonus works here?

Two Hand Dmg Bonus is not the same as One Hand Dmg bonus on this server.
One Hand only scales with LvL, where as Two Hand Scales with both LvL and Delay.

IFS is going to be around 22ish dmg bonus at lvl 60 and PB is going to be around 20 dmg bonus. I will try to get the actually dmg bonus for a 40 dly weapon asap, because I think the difference is even larger. (If Two Handed Dmg Bonus didn't scale there would be ZERO reason to use an Oggok Cleaver, much less pay 15k for it.)

I know people love their consistent DPS, but if you're first char is a monk and you solo a lot I would use buy an IFS, its cheaper and 6 less stone.
