It makes the mobs die quicker. Which means you take less damage, and then less downtime before fighting the next mob.

It adds a tremendous amount of DPS with epic fists. Often I will quad attack for 140 in between 2hb swings. It's essentially adding another 2hb swing. It's the difference between 80dps and 100dps.

Monk is a really unique and cool class, with a lot of tricks. But most people just treat it as a warrior with feign death.

I'd add in allocating some budget to tinker bags.

no, dual wield SoS is not the best dps 1-50. RFS is.

2nd would be T Staff with weapon swap to h2h between swings.

Once the damage caps are lifted IFS will beat 2x SoS. You might get some unlucky fights with misses that frustrate you, but you’ll also get some amazeballs fights where shit melts.

Averaged over time IFS is the 2nd best non-raid dps weapon in the game (best being TStaff). I’m ignoring peacebringer which … while also good … is heavy as shit for a monk.

Either of those 2handers will beat out epic fist + scepter of mastery from Kael.

Peacebringer is great for 20-30, why use IFS with sub-30 damage cap?

Why use a weapon you're going to get rid of anyways, that's garbage because it's so heavy, just because it'll do a fraction more damage during levels that fly by? Just get an IFS and move on with life.
