People seem confused about what swapping does when you do it right. You swap your 2h weapon out at the right time and you get an immediate *offhand* bare fist swing, then you replace your 2h in time to swing again. If you are getting more than a couple punches in then you are doing it wrong and you are missing on a 2h swing. There isn't a way to get extra weapon swings in by swapping something into your offhand because the offhand swings happen immediately when you remove your 2h.

you would get the offhand weapon swap by toggling auto-attack off before unequipping the weapon. this has been a long discussion about how its technically feasible but not practically feasible.

Epic is not required to weapon swap for offhand swings, and it actually reduces your offhand swing damage because your non-epic bare fists are higher damage and the delay is not a factor. If you are getting mainhand swings with your bare fists then you are doing it wrong and missing 2h swings.

Hey Gang, just wanted to say we completed the quest of gearing knuckle despite multiple AFK's from Everquest, I even ended up with some better items because of pure luck and or extra money. Didn't hurt that I came back during christmas and was in a group that split 3 fungi tunics, bane of nife, and bedlam.... Which means I finally got that Spiked Seahorse Belt and IFS....
So anyway heres final form Knuckle. Except I can't start leveling until i do Rebby's note so I can bank in freeport. And a Tinker's Bag/Box of Abu Kar. Then we are DEFINITELY 100% ready to level outside of EC. Probably gonna listen to a lot of Nujabes and mindlessly wander the world mashing things to death with my monk twink. It's gonna be zen.

Level 16.... lol.

You coulda been level 50 in the same amount oftime with the gear you had from September.

But, like they say a good monk makes the gear good, but good gear doesn't make the monk good.
