Monk - Epic/SoM or SoM/SoS?

[Stonewallx39]

Can some explain to me how the monk Epic works? It’s gloves, but do some of the benefits not work if you equip a weapon? What do people mean when they epic main hand or epic/SoS? Go slow because apparently I’m dull as I’ve been unable to understand how this works for a while.

It turns your fists into 9/16 ratio. Because of the damage bonus in the primary hand combined with the very fast attack speed it makes your mainhand especially nice. That's why most people equip a weapon in the offhand and use the epic fist in mainhand, at least until you have access to raid weapons.
