If you think playing a caster is boring, I've got bad news for you about your melee character with three buttons to press...

i can agree with you there which is one of the main reasons i never started a melee. but i think FD pulling would be kind of fun and it would be refreshing to hit something and kick something for once that does more than 14 damage lol

There is a damage cap of 20 up to lvl 10 and then 40 to lvl 20, so if you are going to play him casually, wu's quivering staff is definately a cheaper option and just as good as the best 2hb until lvl 20. but since you said you don't want to buy multiple weapons, and you seem to have no shortage of plat, then I can't help you.

You'll also do more dps before lvl 10 with two cheap one handers (fighting baton, cane of the tranquil, etc), but since my monk twink is only lvl 10, I haven't figured out what I want at the higher lvls yet

i'm done with my main for now until epics come out, and i've only been playing my chanter for fun but he's getting kind of boring so i guess i'd spend around 60% of my eq time on this monk.

im gonna treat my tstaff/rfs like a samurai and his sword - learn with it, own with it, stay with it until i die..i want the staff to basically be red from all the mob's blood and worn down because its the only weapon i use lol

so tstaff or rfs? lulz
