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.

Procs happen at a rate of per minute, rather than per swing, so the expected time for a proc from a quick weapon is around the same as a slower one.

1h only procs faster if you're dual wielding them, as you get an additional proc chance for your offhand. Aside from the primal/priceless wraps I personally wouldn't waste my dkp on any 1hb outside of Gharn's / FoN / Essence Mace. The Tunare stick is a neat party trick if you want to snare something I guess, but no relevant stats, sub 15 dmg, etc. so I wouldn't bother unless you get it cheap or are swimming in DKP.

2hb is better bang for the buck pre-gharn's / FoN. Shovel, Faceshamsher, etc all cheap and great for tanking. Then of course there's the abashi's end game, but that's gonna take some dedication.

Then again, if you like dualwielding there's no real harm in going that route. Just stick to the primal / priceless until the big boy drops as you want the stats. Remember, your job is to get the shit kicked out of you splitting flurries. DPS is secondary.

sell ifs, acquire tstaff. ez path to 60.

1hb not even worth it imo until you have at least 2 priceless fists, and i like priceless 2hb over tstaff too for the stats. gotta save up for vulak/tuna, maybe FoL if you're really committed to dual wield.

a primal is massive for a monk tho since usually shams can't be arsed to avatar sub-optimal dps. def a good dkp priority.

I have the cash for the t-staff, so if i get primal 2h, i proc avatar and swap to t-staff, its worth? Or just use the primal straight up and its superior?

Also I understand this is mostly semantics, but these little questions keep me from quitting again I've only been back a month and I need the illusion of progress beyond seeing a tiny blue bubble increase every hour.

For soloing definitely swap to t-staff as the proc is gold, for that same reason as a rule I would not suggest t-staff on raids.

[Jimjam]

Avatar good. Long duration stun good. Try get best of both?

[Estrang87]

Sounds like a plan, any other thoughts on solo spots 56+ besides the following:

Qeynos Bank Guards
SolB LDC
SolB Efreeti
SolB Bug/bats
PoM Anything
Grix the Exile
WL Goos

Just looking for more places to change up the monotony.

pretty tough to beat LDCs

yea tstaff def >> for soloing unless you're rockin a ntov 2hb, even then a lucky string of procs will really melt any given viable xp mob and potentially save yourself a lot of dmg while it's stunned. agreed tho on raids a "lucky" string might actually pull agro early if you're not really babying it and get you bitten in half by a dragon before you can flop lol

i spent most of my last few levels at BGs in highkeep. pretty ez break if not initially annoying, a lil slow but u can get a groove down with mend recycles and have a lil time to go sell weap drops and dunk on a few guards en route

Not great cash, but fun to tear thru soldungA to pick up fs/ore to fund bandages/recharges.
