Monk : 2 jade mace or Wu's staff + weight penalty

[skarlorn]

i personally find dual wielding my Addy Club + SoS a more effective setup than the 2 hander when fighting higher level mobs. Since htey're a lot more likely to mitigate my slow 2h swing entirely...

Use both (jade maces and WQS)

Though i recommend using 14/18 H2H offhand to keep skill up.

Damage output will be and should be comparable once the dmg bonus is lifted. On the upside 1hb and H2H are fast enough that skill increases should be fast. I recommend keep H2H, 2hb and 1hb all updated as you level.

For the monk with very little finances, WQS is the best investment you can make.
