Questions & Answers

Xyfa here again,

What do you guys/gals think about DW vs 2H for Brewmaster or Windwalker monks? I have seen quite a few well-geared BM/WWs (though primarily BM) with either Novice's Handwraps x2 or Butcher's Cleaver x2, while it seems rather clear to me that Thruk's Heavy Duty Fishing Pole should be the best non-BoA weapon for us. I was planning on getting Burnished Warden Staff eventually, but if the 1H BoAs are better overall then I'll have to go that route. I have done a bit of research regarding 2H vs DW as far as class mechanics at endgame go, but most of the pros for a weapon type are based on abilities that we don't have at lvl 20.

Any thoughts, experience, opinions, or math you care to share?

Thanks for making me realize that BM dmg is mostly (if not only) based on your MH. I would like to stick to weapons with a balance of stam and offensive stats, so something like Venerable Mass of McGowan would be more my speed. Also note that McGowan scales to 15.54 DPS while Shadowfang only scales to 11.48 DPS in BGs.

In case I wasn't clear enough before, my question can be reworded to: Is there any reason to use McGowanx2 over Burnished Warden Staff?

Burnished Warden Staff
58 - 88 Damage (20.28 dps)
17 Stamina
12 Agility
8 Critical Strike
8 Haste

Venerable Mass of McGowan x2
30 - 57 damage (15.54 dps) each
14 Stamina
10 Agility
6 Crit
6 Haste

Venerable Mass + Furbolg Medicine Pouch
30 - 57 damage (15.54 dps)
19 Stamina
5 Agility
3 Crit
3 Haste


Warden Staff appears to be BiS for everything except a pure stamina set, where the 2 stam of McGowan+Furbolg would override any dps gains from Warden (I still wouldn't use it for FCing due to the haste for healing though). Thoughts?

WW likes to go with duel wield.

What does your claim of WW preferring DW come from? The heirloom comparison was mainly just a proof of concept for 2H > DW (though it is useful for determining BiS as well), since both are itemized the same with the same "ilvl" yet 2H wins. I still wouldn't use SFx2 over Thruk's since SF lacks stamina and I play primarily BM. I kinda see where you are coming from, though I don't see anyone preferring 1 agility to 9 stamina (SFx2 vs Thruk's), assuming damage comes out nearly identical (excluding the bonus 1 agil from SF of course).

Is there a way to get to the Isle of Thunder without a lock summon? Or is there a way I can get the Sunreaver Onslaught reputation discovered and in my rep tab?

I think lock summon is the only way...
 
How much does touch of the grave hit/heal for in BG's atm?

Strength.... stack sttength is needed. Increases your dps and its better than crit.
 
I'm getting dc'd dozens of time tonight. I'm on my fresh monk account. Dc'd when: log in, enter game, zone dmf and zone bgs. It takes me half a dozen tries minimum to succesfully enter the game after a dc. It's not my connection. Any ideas?
 
Are the queued fixed yet? As in: Do you still have to twaddle around for 3 days before you get any pop?

Depends on the time of day you queue, at prime time hours the average wait time is between 5-20 minutes, the times you log on I don't even know if bgs pop to be honest.

Bones of Transformation.
Wisp amulet.
pterrordax hatchling.

You know, your enthusiasm is appreciated, but it isn't necessary to ask the exact same question in three different threads at once.
