Great info on the thread especially about low vs. high AC raid targets. I'm reviewing the monk weapon DPS spreadsheet, and I'm trying to figure out what my next weapons goals are for raiding so I wanted to get some thoughts from the knowledgeable people here.
I'm currently using T-staff for 2HB OR epic fist + Scepter of Mastery depending on target. I've got very sparse access to ToV monk weapons (no VP) so it's hard for me to get Facesmasher, Shovel of the Harvest, Fist of Lightning, Baton of Flame, or Wurmscale Fistwraps but if one becomes available I'll be more then happy to spend DKP on it. What I do have right now though is plat so I'm considering buying a ST key and loot rights for Priceless Velium Fistwraps and an Essence Mace. From a min/max perspective and judging from this thread, I'm hesitant to buy these because 1) I'll more then likely be using a 2HB for most raid targets, and 2) the DPS increase comparing these two relative to epic fists on the primarily are 13% and 17% more, respectively, for the cost of ~450k plat. Wurmscale Fistwraps give a 20% DPS increase, and Baton of Flame 24% excluding proc. So, my question is, just continue using the epic fists + SoM when not using 2HB and just wait patiently for better NTOV 1HB/fists OR spend the 450k for ST gear is worth it (assuming I dont have unlimited plat and that's everything I have)?
