Haste vs new weapon

I would strongly discourage this. 30/40 is a terrible ratio for a monk 2h. The cheap 23/27 is the gold standard at 100p. Remember, that 30/33 (counting fbss haste into the equation) is still WORSE than unhasted IFS or PB which can each be had twice over for the cost of haste alone.

That's not 'slightly worse ratio' ... that's considerably worse.


If you're worried about weight, it's better to just grab the IFS for ~2k. It's about the same weight and 38/40 unhasted.

I have an IFS on my monk, they're great but unless you have a seb group look forward to spending weeks in the tunnel looking for one that isn't sold immediately

Now on to the ratio I spoke of, non hasted ratio of Wu's is .85, Brawl stick(or any other 30/40) is .75. Hasted with FBSS Wu's is 1 flat(28/1.21=23 and change) and the standard brawl stick is .9 ratio. See, slightly worse, I don't know how much closer than .1 "slightly" can mean

Usually when buying brawl sticks people will be confused though and you can get a better stick than what they go for, huge margin on those things because it is for use as combat stick or fashion stick so the price gap can change drastically.

Either way it makes little difference on Wu's, Brawl Stick or IFS; Jade Mace + Stave of Shielding is better dps starting from lvl 15 on, hasted or not. Total cost 3k

Get jade mace + SoS. save up for FBSS(or my preferred SCHW but whatever). Work on epic while leveling, once you attain epic, sell/trade SCHW for money towards Sash of the dragonborn. Enjoy self sustained %64 haste until you can afford a %40 haste item/sky raid for the good sky belt
