I have switched to the accepted DPS lines which are 4/4/8 WIS/STA/INT.  It truly does offer the best DPS of any other combination but is only one part of the equation.  While fabled weapons are nice 2x mastercrafted with imbuements will do fine until you get some.  The next thing is adornments.  Believe me the procs on these also add up and the "x.x times per minute" is only a guide.  I've seen some proc 5 times in a row and that is pure madness.  A monk with those AAs and dual wield weapons with procs can have up to 6 DPS procs that can activate on hit. I too when I started raiding was only doing 400-600DPS zonewide and after adjusting my playstyle and getting fabled weapons (albeit the "entry level" fabled,  one is T6,  Fists of Bashing adorned with T7 viral binding adornment,  and draconic fighting baton adorned with T6 molten binding) my DPS is consistently 800-1100 DPS zonewide.  I should note that my STR is also over the cap on every raid,  624 self buffed before I'm even grouped which makes a huge difference to your CAs and auto attack damage.  Once raided my STR is 1200+ and procs take it higher (even though the cap is 1080) it ensures even if my STR is debuffed I'm still doing maximum damage,  or can swap out gear for resists and keep my DPS.

My damage is a lot lower when mastercrafted weapons and 4/4/8 WIS/STA/INT. For flat out DPS 4/4/8 STR/STA/INT is the way to go. I'll see if I can find the parse compairs I did back then. Not 100% sure of the numbers but I know for a fact that STR/STA/INT out DPSed every combination of AA's I tried.

It was prior the issue is now mastercrafted weapons can be imbued AND adorned w a dps proc. I havent seen a parse comparing these imbued/adorned mastercrafted wpns vs barefisted. And it may  very well be mastercrafted is better, now.

<p>I would really like to see some new parsed info on bare fisted str line for monks as well.. over the last week i dusted off the gi sorta speak and been playing my monk again. since i hadnt played him in months i went with the str/int/sta being under the impression that unless u can break 60 dr dw or anythign short of the staff of the flapping wing one would be better off bare handed.</p><p>if anyone puts up some results on how bare handed is fairing now that would rock. if the results are close i might stick with the bare handed anyway and hold out for some fableds(unlikely but im allowed to dream), but if we are looking at 100+ dps difference then it time to grab a weapon or two. </p>

You can apply a DPS adornment to an already imbued dual wield weapon and both work? /boggle
