Haste plus WQS first ... Then cheap but lightweight gear as finances allow.

You should buy haste - I would get my hands on a Stave of Shielding if I was you as well.

This. Haste and weapons are all you need. SoS is best ratio weapon you can get your hands on, though sub-10 it sucks and sub-20 it is basically just a knuckle duster. Thereafter it cannot be beat. A 2h will of course land you less riposte and DS dmg if you are soloing or in a terrible group.

DWing only really comes into its own and start beating out 2handers in late lvl50s-60 as explained in this:

No, it actually doesn't speak to lower level dw because it doesn't provide ratios for offhand below 60. Dual SoS is superior to PB at level 29.

Works like this:



At L29

DW chance = (29+(7+7*29))/405 = 239/405=.590123

SoS primary hand dps = (17*2+1)/(28/10)=12.5
SoS off hand dps = ((17*2)/(28/10))*.590123=7.1658
Dual SoS dps = 19.66

PB dps = (28*2+2)/(30/10)=19.33

TStaff is better until 31

The data compiled in the link I sent is from actual players, testing these weapons out, i.e. empirical data. This formula might very well be wrong(or be incomplete).

I don't know anything about monks but my general advice would be to go for items that will last you until you're level 60. That means, no SCHW, no peacebringer. Get haste in your belt/cape slot, and save up for an IFS. SoS wouldn't be a horrible choice either. Worry about armor later outside of stuff you can get from grouping, I'd put tinkerer bags ahead of armor when gearing up. Who cares if one weapon or another is marginally better at low levels, you won't spend very long at those ranges anyways. Time spend auctioning items you've replaced that don't sell easily is time you could have been leveling or gearing up, and I guarantee the net loss of time is worse than any marginal DPS or stat increase would make in your leveling. The gear you have now is enough to hit 60 in no problem. You play on blue, you can hit 60 naked.

I'd go for a FBSS or such over SCHW. Once youre high enough level epic is going into hands slot and staying there (monk epic is super easy)

Stave of shielding is a great buy

Haste and weapons is basically all you need as a monk

Thx for answers,got myself SCHW because it s cheaper than Fbss and i feel like epic is not that close as i only play p99 for a bit more than a month,i dont know anyone and stuff.
I was planning WQS till 30 then peacebringer or ifs ? and keep the trance sticks to level 1hb.Any interest in SoS before 50 ?
Besides,is cloack of shadows worth or should i just go for any hp cloak?
Guess the other parts will just be cheap filler and i ll keep money to MQ what parts of epic is doable,havent looked too much into that yet.
