No such weapons exist.
You don't need mathematical parity on damage bonus, you just need to math out which set of weapons does more damage.

People can read this post to see that a FoN + Gharns should out DPS a Primal 2hb.

As I said before, just math out both weapons and/or parse them. If they are close, the dual wield combo is going to be more consistent.

Indeed. You should actually use math sometimes to support your positions. As you say, it isn't complicated.

We can use the linked post above to check TStaff's potential damage output:

46 weapon damage from the 2h in the linked post above divided by 29 weapon damage from TStaff is 1.58. The 221 max damage from the weapon example in the linked post above divided by 1.58 is 139.87.

(9 + 139.87) / 2 = 74.4 x 0.5 = 37.2 + 29 damage bonus = 66.2 damage

66.2 damage x 30 hits = 1986 damage compared to 2072 damage at least from FoN + Gharns. That damage value is a bit lower due to gharns having a slightly better ratio. I am also assuming a 50% dual wield chance, for the 2072 number, but it sounds like Monks have a higher dual wield chance than 50%. That would further increase the 2072 damage if true.

As you can see, you don't need a 1h weapon with a delay of 12 to out DPS a TStaff.
