monk 2hb

[chipz]

I guess a second question I have, should I continue to just 2hb or switch to duel wield? I have a smite stick and a CoH in the bank, so would the 2-3k be better spent on a 2hb or a duel wield setup?

IFS and Peacebringer are, for all intents and purposes, equal in terms of damage output. On the lower end, IFS has a better ratio. Once you get higher in levels the PB pulls ahead a bit due to more frequent dmg bonus. PB weighs a lot and is ugly as sin. IFS is much lighter and looks cooler. IFS can be very frustrating when you get a run of bad luck because it's so slow. PB is more consistent.

Both of those weapons can be had for 2-3k. As to whether you should spend your money on them or buy a good DW setup ... that depends more on the rest of your gear imo. A good DW setup will be more expensive for sure. If your gear is good all around as it is ... investing in an AC/SoS combo is never a bad idea. If the rest of your gear is lackluster, go the less expensive route and save your $. Just keep in mind that PB/IFS are fantastic weapons all the way up to 60. Only on THIS server (bloated with excess gear and cheap SoSs) are they considered anything but top notch.

My gear progression was

WQS -->
IFS level 30 -->
+ AC/SoS part time start level 40 -->
AC/SoS most of the time starting 44-45 -->
Epic/SoS 99% of the time level 52

I keep IFS in my bag for dmg shields.
