Quick Question on weapon choice...

[IvanE]

<DIV>Hey, this is my first time posting on the board. I am a lvl 20 monk on butcherblock. Anywho... so a guild buddy of mine just gave this weapon to me as a gift:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Firwood Fighting Batons. (+5 agi, +3str, +16 health, +12 power)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Base Damage: 4 - 11, 1.5 Second Delay. Dual Wield.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>should I go try to find another one (or something comparable) or keep using my the staff that I have now?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Makoto's Bo of Striking. (+2 int, +3 agi, +1 str, +2 wis, +12 health, +9 power)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Base Damage: 8 - 23, 1.7 Second Delay. Two handed</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>O yea, one more quick question: if I dual wield with rapid swings attack, will I be able to hit for a maximum of 10 times (5 attacks per weapon)?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks,</DIV> <DIV>Minchee</DIV> <DIV>Lvl 20 Monk, Butcherblock</DIV>

<DIV>I prefer the staffs, when soloing or when a mob aggros on you, you will take less riposte damage, because you are not swinging as much, just my preference.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As for the Rapid Strikes, I am not positive, but I don't think you will get a possible of 2 attacks per rapid strike.  I think you just get 4 extra attacks, so if we ever find a really high damage weapon with a really slow delay, you could equip that rapid strike and get some nice damage, then switch it out for a faster weapon.  Again, I am not sure, but that is how I think it works.</DIV>
