Monk weapon Duo question
I've been duoing a lot 55+ with a shaman or cleric and wanted to know which weapon to use for DPS. I've just been using T-staff only for the DD proc (usually have dex buff)
Items 36% worn haste epic fists 20% spell haste (captain nalots quickening) which item would be best for MY DUO T-Staff Fist + Scepter of Mastery Fist + Stave of Shielding

This chart has relatively consistent DPS numbers: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwL...JtaGVsanM/edit It doesn't have Velious weapons, and it assumes that you aren't using a 2HB with the free offhand trick (poke around on the melee forums and you should find a post describing it). The takeaway: TStaff = 2.5; Epic + SoS = 1.76 + 0.78 * 1.21 = 2.70. Epic + Scepter of Mastery = 1.76 + 0.78 * 1.23 = 2.72. So, Epic + Scepter of Mastery is the best. The chart also indicates that the TStaff procs almost make up for the difference but not quite.

They're all pretty close so it doesn't much matter with a Cleric partner. The Stave provides a durability-related buff which stacks with Cleric buffs so it has good utility there; swap it out with the scepter if you really want to min/max. With a Shaman partner use the Tranquil Staff because you'll benefit from the special effect's hate generation, especially when you duo tougher things that resist slow 4 or 5 times or more.

Epic Fist + SoM is best straight up DPS. With high dex, it is about 5-6% better than Tstaff for non-autistic players. Difference between SoM and SoS in offhand is about 1/2%. If you are autistic, Tstaff is around 10-26% better (possibly more) depending on your degree of autism.

Its all pretty close - if you have a T Staff i would use that due to fashion quest even though Epic + SoS/SoM would be a little better

Sounds like it is worthwhile for soloists.

I always kind of laugh at these monk weapon threads because I feel monks face this strange anti-choice between many alternatives that are all about the same. My sperglord calculator suggests (with max STR/DEX, which you probably don't have) that the Tranquil Staff is 66 dps, the Fist/SoS is 67, and the Fist/Sceptre is 67.5. Double Wu's Fists of Mastery helps, but the only real way to break out of that tier is with NTOV weapons and a Primal, for example Fist of Nature+Primal Battlehammer is 94 dps. After the October patch, monks should be able to hit 110ish DPS vs Krup Knights or so with either Abashi's or Gharn's/Fist of Nature and a primal.
Although your offense will be about the same, you can tweak your defense a bit with your weapon selection. The Tranquil Staff will reduce your ripostes (like -15% damage when tanking slowed targets) and the Fist/Sceptre combination will generate a lot of attack rounds for Mark of Karn when duo with a Cleric (who should have a MOK clicky) after proccing the Stave of Shielding for the extra buff. I was able to duo DN rats and Velk's spiders pretty well Monk/Cleric, although it wasn't super fast (adding an enchanter helps massively) and I have a few NTOV items boosting my AC. | ||

I suppose P(triple attack) is P(double attack)^2. ... I suppose!
