Monk Weight Problems

[tommydgun]

what you dont realize is that the only reason those items that weigh a lot seem like they are giving you more AC is because you are already severely over the cap. if you were flirting with the cap and you equipped iksar scaled gloves over say wu's gloves you would not get more AC. however if you are 15 pounds over weight and you equip iksar scaled gloves over wu's you would get more AC than wu's. i hope that makes sense.

also gem inlaid gauntlets weigh 1 pound. 140 and 40 bandages is going to run you about 4-5 pounds, by simply getting a large soiled bag you are -3 to 4 pounds instantly. (can't remember capacity of bag might only be 8 slot) you can also put your jboots in the bag for another -2.5 pounds

edit: honestly though, fear kiting while leveling and being that twinked i wouldnt worry about weight too much and i would just worry about looting and selling items for cash. once you arent farming giants and you are trying to solo or tank for a group at level 45+ you will want to cut weight and go for the AC.

Jeez I feel like I must be missing something here, I start at like 29weight and usually while soloing(lvl 40 atm) I will end up at like 60-90 weight and then delete all my silver/copper and drop 20lb and gain maybe 20AC back at most. I don't feel the slightest bit gimped by being overweight, But could that be because fungi/trance sticks/jboots/cos etc? I eventually plan on getting tink bags in a week or two and can grab a abu-kar box. I carry about 100 shurikens on me and another 20 20 in ranged. only 20-40 bandages because i rarely get below 80% let alone 50% to bandage. I use medicine bags right now and 2 large sewing kits. I wear some heavy gear like gem inlaid gaunts i think 4lb, lumberjack cap 3-4lb. Mostly because despite the weight, the AC/stats gives me more then i lose. I am going to replace these easily with exec hood and whatever else I can buy soon, It is just difficult on red being iksar trying to buy stuff with everyone in freeport.
