What would you do with my monk for 3k?
 

Below is a link to my monk in current gear. I have saved up about 3k and am thinking about saving a little more for an Imbued Fighters Staff, but I was curious what you guys would do if you had that much?

Any help would be much appreciated!

You’re not gonna get the most out of that IFS till a little higher level I believe there is a damage cap. First fill out all inventory slots so get yourself a decent belt item. Preferably STR DEX or AGI stats and keep the weight low as possible. That matters the most at your level.your best bet is get yourself some wus trance sticks for a few levels since you can proc them now. It will probably outdo that quivering staff. Honestly though, your gear is okay at the moment till about 45+ thankfully monks are less dependent on gear.

Correction* trance sticks proc at 35 my bad. Build your STR and AGI/STA (I’d you tank a lot) as much as possible. STR as priority. There is affordable gear out there heavy in STR. Slowly replace the items that don’t fit that category.

30 is prime time for 2H actually. His dmg cap is off but doesnt really have MH bonus damage. Most people will agree that 30-50 is best 2H time.

Get some HP in belt and back, and change out your necklace if possible.

The dragonhide belt or w/e with +sta is cheap. There's a lot of back options. Pick a necklace with some HP or str on it. More hp = more your mend will heal you. Dex / agi does nothing for you especially with no proc.

I thought cyber was forbidden...

I would probably put something in that Empty Belt slot.

Thick Banded Belt. BP legs and shoulders. Quest Shackle of Steel.

Spider fur belt, earring of essence, runed bone fork

I agree with IFS being the first thing you should buy. An increase in damage is going to benefit you more than anything else. After that you're gonna wanna focus on HP and MR. Here are a few items you could try to upgrade to after the IFS:

Dragon Tooth Choker (good as head or neck)
Netted Kelp Lined Shoes (Not sure why I don't see more monks using these. Really good for the price and I don't the the other options such as Barbed Dragonscale Boots are worth the weight.)
Crystal Spider Eyes
Totem of the Warrior Spirit (I wouldn't recommend Idol of the Thorned. Not worth the weight. I'd use use Totem of the Warrior Spirit until you can afford an Othmir Prexus Totem.)
Earring of Essence
Spider Fur Belt
Wurm Scale Coat
Velium Blue Diamond Bracelets are also good for MR till you get some bracers of benevolence
