Hab,

I'd be interested in your Excel chart... or if you have it in Google Doc just share the link. My monk currently has 2x EBM's, so I can probably use those until 35 and then sell them for just my fists! Awesomesauce - thanks!

Based on my numbers you'd want to sell them at level 30. Will save you a good chunk of weight too.

At 30, got it - thanks for the info.. I love this number crunching stuff ;D
And thanks for the spreadsheet!

Yah I'm definitely overweight right now, not deriving any weight benefit at all. I wonder how much that really affects the monk? Do you happen to know? If you're over the "limit" how badly does it affect you? Just curious.

This is from a post on monkly business.

Weight Restriction

The first issue is our weight limit. The following is our existing weight allowances:

Level 1-14: <15 No Penalty
Level 15-29: <16 No Penalty
Level 30-44: <17 No Penalty
Level 45-50: <18 No Penalty
Level 51-54: <19 No Penalty
Level 55-59: <21 No Penalty
Level 60: <25 No Penalty.

Passing the weight limit for the given level range reduces the inherent AC bonus that you receive as a monk. Prior to level 20, monks should not worry about the penalty, as it is negligible. After level 20, is when the penalty becomes annoying as our AC loss increases for each WT over the limit. At first the loss is minimal, but as you level that penalty turns into a severe AC loss.

Seems to be true anecdotally. I never cared about weight in my teens and tanked just fine and now that I'm approaching 30 it seems to be impacting AC and tankability a lot more. I can still MT in groups just fine but if I'm looting and get to 30 stones I definitely start to notice it

I've been keeping it below 15 as much as possible as soon as I learned about it just so that i am always mindful of it. If i am out hunting and I get a little overweight, I don't freak out, but I at least come out of the gate weighing as little as possible. Currently 10 when Ive hit the vendor.
