Im almost 100% sure that dual wield cap is way higher than 100 at 19. I quit dw'ing completely when I hit 20, and my dw skill is at least 145.

Yeah, this sounds right - I think monks do have higher dual wield caps than the standard skill cap at low levels.

If they're that high than trance sticks will indeed outperform WQS til 20.

What's the going rate for Wu's Quivering on our server these days? Good first wep investment?

dmg cap comes off at 20

Hmm? There's a damage cap up to level 20? Who does it apply to?
--update--
Found an answer to the cap on the wiki;
Damage cap = (dmg * 2) where dmg is the weapon's stated damage.

levels 1-9 - damage cap is 20
levels 10-19 - damage cap is 28
Levels 20-29 - damage cap is 60
30+ - lifted, can do 2x weapon damage or more based on class

--Question #2--
Can anyone provide me the mechanic concerning how often dual wield strikes trigger?

Crazy cheap for what it is, mainly due to it's weight [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 250p is what you can expect to pay, or cheaper(have seen em at 150p) don't pay more. If you don't have the cash to invest in very light gear though i'd say 2x trance sticks are prolly a better return.

(Level + Skill)/500

Thanks koros! Someone should update the wiki with that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

it is that high, monks get an insane DW skill even at low lvls.

reconfirming my previous statement that trance stick till 20 then WQS till you die or get a ifs/preacebringer is the way to go.

to someone elses question, WQS is the best monk purchase you can make as far as bang for your buck goes.

Just wanna chime in here: there's really no reason to have a trance stick in your offhand, especially if it's not proccing. The ratio on that thing is not good.
