That means much higher guaranteed minimums with higher hit ratios. The epic is for song haste, not primarily for weapon replacement, unless you have crap.

not only that, if you are "epically-fisting" a raid target that gets turned unexpectedly, you will be shattered by ripostes before you can turn auto attack off.

2hb is the tits, from 20-60. Unless you are trying to roleplay or something, in which case you have other problems to focus on

I think you'll be in the minority here on this one. I agree with ripostes, but that can be avoided and isnt really part of the dmg debate. I have been told my numerous epic monks that fist + ac/sos is superior dmg to tstaff, but by how much is the question.
