Common Monk Weapons Parsing - DPS and Damage Taken

[Eisai]

Question was about a slower & worse ratio 2H.

Whatever percentage of incoming damage comes from riposte with a TStaff, it’s gonna be almost double from mainhand epic alone (30 delay vs 16) and that doesn’t even factor in ripostes from all those offhand hits at whatever delay the offhand carries.

Riposte dmg is not negligible and it is far less with a 2hander.

It depends. I took a look at my Monk parses in another thread:

I took a look at my logs for this video:

On my 1h setup I got riposted 11 times, and swung my Epic Fist + SoS around 1035 times.

Funnily enough I also got 11 ripostes on my 2h setup of IFS
+ fistweaving, while only swinging ~500 times.

RNG sometimes works that way. It does look like riposte rates against players may be lower than I predicted in my previous post, which is good.

As I said in that thread, people were fine using 1h weapons before the 2h damage table change. I've been using my 1h setup on my Monk, and I generally don't notice a large increase in the damage I take. Raid mobs obviously hit harder, so ripostes can matter more on raid mobs.

Is the parse that Treefiddy provided above more aligned with what a *normie* could accumulate?
And by normie I mean what a non sweaty beard (as a 50+ yr old with an actual life) sans playing at work/midnight/weekends/permacamping/etc.

That is way more useful to me (many?) than trashing it as "crap dps so your whole guild is crap" did we not kill velious mobs with kunark lvl equipment/dps intially?

Just askin questions here folks.

Hi Duik and others! Thanks for taking the time to look at the stuff.

Yes, the main reason I did this was to help folks who are still leveling trying to decide where to invest money and how much better a solo/tank experience will be.

I never claimed that this is representative of the end game experience. I think my lvl 58 results should be very similar to what one might find at least 50 - 59, where monks spend most of their time leveling, and beyond but the Tstaff proc won't apply so it'll be slightly worse < 50.

I would've parsed the IFS, but I didnt have one and they took the bodyguards out before I could.

I also did this to test how much fights vary due to RNG. As you can see, they vary a lot. The average fight duration was about 45 seconds, which is probably on par with a typical leveling group.

Guys, we’re over analyzing this. Just use tstaff, always. And if it’s a raid mob, just wait to engage until like 90%, and keep using it.

Thats about as correct as you can get.

But also, just join riot for a few weeks, buy an ST key and grab some priceless fists. Go back to your CSG and auto attack things.

Or spend 30k and less dkp for bo staff and call it a day

Or you know, you could stop being half assed wankers and jump in the time machine to get a ton po's. Why do you guys have to always make this so complicated?

bo staff isnt hard tho, you get half the dkp you need just for applying to riot. you could get one in like 1-2 weeks of casual play and have a 2nd bis weapon.

I’m curious how the tstaff discussion went when the devs were working on kunark.

“So i decided to put one of the best ratio melee weapons in the game as a random trash drop in kc and have it be a better ratio than any epic weapon. And I think giving it a long stun proc will make it even more fun. But we’ll try to make it rare, despite the fact that groups will likely be here nonstop due to it being an outdoor, easily accessible zone.”

Also,let's make it only usable by the most op melee class.

Yeah but it weights 10.

TEN!
