Batons or Quarters

[Demodicus]

<DIV>49 Monk here just wondering which is better for a Monk The cedar Batons or quarterstaffs..Haste aside..</DIV>

<P>My Monk is much lower level than you, but I prefer the Quarter Staffs.  Many people recommend slower weapons (e.g., 2H Staffs), especially for tanking, to cut down on repostes.  But I also I prefer dual wield for the stats.  Since the Quarter Staffs tend to be slower than the batons, I figure they are a good compromise.</P>

Yeah Ive been using quarters too..Just was considering batons because they look badass

what about cudgels? they have lots of agi and duel weild (if going for stats).  plus dual wielding will be improved on LU16 <div></div>

Lol sorry..I didnt metion I was looking to buy the t6 weapons,Ive been packing the cedar quarterstaffs for a while now..and yeh the Cestii's do a little more damage but have a slower timer AND cost about another plat..I dont really think about..hmm 20dmg I think? Is wort that much..I Considered it then kinda convinced myself into getting quarterstaffs again <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for the input all</DIV> <DIV>Btw Im lvl 50 now yay!</DIV>

<DIV>I personally have 2 imbued cestii (slashing damage) and the imbued bo staff (crushing damage). Not that it's a big reason but there are certain mobs outside in the lands that are immune to some damage types (crushing, slashing or piercing). Thus I like having the option to either do crushing or slashing damage on those certain beeings. For the looks and (a tiny bit) more dps I'm using the bo staff. While tanking and looking on the LU#16 (damage rating and proc rate) upgrades to dual wield weapons I will most likely tend to use my cestii more often.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just wanted to bring in the aspect of damage types and immune mobs, but if I had to choose between the batons and quarterstaffs I would take the batons. Ah and if you're wondering, the above is my view as a 55 monk :smileyhappy:</DIV> <DIV>____</DIV> <DIV>Aikia</DIV> <DIV>of Antonia Bayle</DIV><p>Message Edited by Balabear on <span class=date_text>11-07-2005</span> <span class=time_text>06:00 AM</span>
