bare fists or DW

[Tacp]

<DIV>Hi I am a 34 monk and have been looking at the boards and seeing that some of our AAs are STR line which I put 2 into so far. I guess my question is I have always used DW batons for soloing and a 2H for tanking, is just using my bare fists actually better then DW for solo?</DIV>

<DIV>hard to tell at the moment how the next lu will truly play out, but as a lvl 34 monk w the lack of any decent wpns other then rare imbued. Barefists shoudl still be better dps solo and in groups.</DIV>

I am usuing 2 pristine imbued fir fighting batons at 34 with a rating of 14.6.

I suggest you do what I did, get to at least 3 before you start to use it regularly. With the rated weapons you have right now 3 AA might be just about equel in damage (although you will lose some stats), and 4 will be superior damage wise.<p>Message Edited by PrimusPilus on <span class=date_text>04-22-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:21 PM</span>

<DIV>3 AA equals 1 AA for the starter ability and 2 AA in pure str stat... that has no influence on bare fisted fighting at all yet. I doubt that the str AA line produces better DPS than any weapon until you're 3 AA's into the double attack skill of the str line (which I suppose the poster before me wanted to say), which would then equal a minimum of 12 AA.</DIV>
