The problem with replying to a post in another thread is that it's taken out of context.I was replying specifically to the quote "you need 60+ DR weapons". That's info from pre-change. After the change, the same weapons have been moved down to about 57-60 DR (previously being 60-63 DR). You can still exceed unarmed with the same weapons, the DR is just a bit different now.And especially with adornments, having a good fabled weapon will start to out damage.One issue is that it may be different between Monks and Bruisers because of the haste factor. As a bruiser, I have very little self haste (+10 from equipment only), so it may end up mixing better with my combat arts. My procs hurt from it though, so who knows.... get some decent adornments and you could be doing much better.Adornments-wise though, nothing can compare to have HP or Power drain effects on your weapons... damage is one thing, but being able to proc 120+ power heal 2.0 times per minute (modifiable by haste, so it can be like 4.0 times per minute, so each procing once per 15s!!)... that's just a heckuva lot of bonus for us power slurping Fighter classes...
