My monk is lvl 21 and is using Jade Mace in main hand and knuckle dusters in off hand. Should i go for SoS x 2, or ADA main hand and SoS off hand?

Either of those would be a great upgrade.

2x SOS will be better and cheaper until 34 when the Ac becomes a bit better. I wouldn't bother picking up an AC until it starts proc'ing though unless you just have extra cash that you want to spend ^^

Thank you, i think I'll go with the 2x SoS and save some cash till a good priced ADA ☺

Assuming because of the wpn dmg bonus pushing the faster weapon a hair over the superior dmg/delay ratio? Thx!

Yep ^^ and it improves as dmg bonus increases with level.

So a few higher level monks told me that jade mace in main hand and SoS off hand would give me more DPS. Because i guess i should have the fastest delay weapon in main hand.

They were wrong. SoS x2 until epic + SoS.
AC + SoS is <1% more dps than SoSx2 between the levels of 43 and 50. As a monk you can 100% get your epic by 50. Just save 5-8K and make a few friends.
With epic, AC in the offhand is always worse than SoS, but only slightly. I like the SoS proc over the stun, but eh.
How can you be so specific? are you basing these figures off parses?

The alternative being he's a crazy person? That would be more interesting... :)

Kayso has the right of it here.
OP, the high level monks advising you are operating off the errant assumption that dual wield checks are made every mainhand swing rather than every delay cycle of the offhand as it is.

So i should go SoS x2 till i get epic / SoS? Thats the best bet?

get at least 1 SoS. Jade Mace / SoS is not a bad move either at your level, but if you have the money to offer you 2 SoS, then go for it.
Once done, you might want to get an Adam Club regardless of epic or not for when you have to hold agro.
