I suppose I should have asked this question before spending a chunk o' gold on a nice 2h...But is this quoate from the Monk FAQ still accurate? I thought that I may have heard someplace that the type of weapons didn't matter any longer when taking auto-attack into consideration while using CA's..."When you swing your weapon, you start a timer ticking. This timer is equal to the delay of your weapons. When the timer is up, you swing, and the timer starts over. However, if you're currently casting a combat art you will not swing until your art finishes. The timer does not start until you actually swing, so you might waste some of the speed of your weapons while casting. If you time your attacks so that you swing immediately after a combat art, then start using the next art immediately, you can maximize both your autoattack damage and your combat art damage. If your weapons are too fast then they aren't swinging at their full speed due to the time wasted casting a combat art. If your weapons are too slow, you either have to wait too long after finishing an art, or you start using the next art before you swing and waste a lot of delay time while casting the next one."thx!
