Uncommon Places to Solo with Fungi Monk

[Knuckle]

54 with epic now, I'm still rocking the IFS. I have a 16/28 1hb from VP and thats it for 1handers. If I can camp the 13/21 1hb in Kael, would that be a noticable DPS upgrade vs IFS? If not I'll keep grinding with IFS and maybe buy a T-Staff. I have about 40k right now, any major items I should look out for in that budget range? Thanks for all the morale support fellow forumquesters.

I know that Tstaff was the clear winner vs the old best in slot casual setup of epic mainhand / SoS offhand. I'm not sure where IFS weighs in at but I would assume pretty close to that setup. Epic / SoM is probably better than IFS but by how much is the question. Then you have to take into account taking more ripostes if you're soloing, or more hits of a damage shield.

I would keep rocking the IFS. What's your haste like? I wouldn't upgrade to a Tstaff unless I already had a top tier haste item 36% or better.

A 34% haste item is fine. 34% is when you have reduced your delay by half the possible amount you can reduce it by. A 40/40 weapon would be at 40/30 at 34% haste, and 40/20 is the best you can get with 100% haste. Diminishing returns start to set in, since you need 66% haste to get the other half.

The 2% extra haste from CoF nets you very little in terms of DPS. I agree that OP should focus on getting a seahorse belt first if they still have a 20% haste item.

As far as I know T-Staff is going to be better than 1h for soloing, that is what most people say these days. I don't have an SoM or T-Staff, so I can't do comparisons between SoM and an IFS or T-Staff.

Buy a 34-36% haste item with DKP. Cloak of Piety is a pretty meh item with 34% haste, often goes for bargain bin prices. CoCW or CoF will be more expensive but you can sell them once you upgrade.

Just save the cash. IFS and > 34% haste is firmly in 'all your upgrades will come from DKP' territory. Eventually you can use the cash for stuff like lootrights (circlet of the falinkan, strength of the elements, hammered golden hoops).

Yeah I’ve had seahorse belt, guess the king game starts.

You've advanced a tech level.

About halfway through 56 now (this is knuckle, cant access my other forum account, password wont reset). I am still using IFS but have enough DKP to work towards a sleeper key + primal for this toon. What is the best platinum purchasable 1hander to pair with the sleeper primal fistwraps? Or a few suggestions, stuff under 100k preferably.

Can you beat priceless fistwraps with a plat 1 hander? Once keyed I would probably drum up some hype for randoming prismatic scales and organize some trash clears till you win a fistwrap.

Interesting, I had not considered that since I figured the 1h was superior and would proc faster? At what point do 1handers beatout the 2h for monk end game? Figured id be going for tunare branch and claw of lightning or some such.
