IFS. I am disappoint.

Did you actually parse the damage? Trust me it just feels worse because it's a much slower weapon than most other monk weapons. The same DPS is there. You also get fewer ripostes when soloing which has a noticeable difference on the damage you take versus 1 handers, as well as your own ripostes doing way more damage, and you take less damage from damage shields than any other monk weapon.

And best of all it looks way cooler than that Cracked Staff Peacebringer.
