screw the club, I'd be tempted to use the staff - think ahead to a peacebringer/SoS or something [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ideally if you're dual wielding you want something with a 9/18, 10/20, 12/24 or better in your offhand for good deeps.

Haste aside the WQS is superior until 49. When your DMG bonus applied to the low dly of the Ikky Club (in your main hand) helps the DW setup pass the staff. You'll take more dmg from DS & ripostes and will do less with your own ripostes dual wielding than you will with the 2hb. On the flip side that damn staff is HEAVY T.T I hated it ^^

You could swap out the Ikky club for a Wu's Trance Stick at 35 (think that is when it starts proc'ing) and the DW setup w/ the smite proc would out deeps the staff at that point^^

I should also clarify that you'd want to swap the Ikky club or trance stick to main hand at 37. Until then the you will see better deeps from the cane in primary.

Thank you thank you sir. Yea I have no haste lol. First character.
I do have the Wu's Trance Stick as well, I bought it before I looted the Ikky club yesterday lol.
Yea 9lbs on my weap is quite a bit. I feel you on that lol
So probably at 35 I'll go back to DW with the smite proc.

Should also add that in general as Swish pointed out, you should aim for the best ratio possible in offhand and the lowest delay possible in main hand to take advantage of that primary hand damage bonus. This is especially true at higher levels, but not as much so at lower levels when you have little or no damage bonus ^^ picking up another cane at 35 would work too, but then the trance stick/can combo will outpace it at 40 due to primary hand bonus.

Good call and you can ignore my last comment about using 2 canes as an option from 35-40. For some reason I was figuring haste into that ^^ The rest is right though.
