Vanguard Monks

Since the patch, whats the better crit rate for weapon usage:

2 hand weapons (5+2.5 = 7.5%)

or

bare fist (unknown crit %)

?

Crit rate on unarmed is that of fast weapons (a.k.a. 5% / 2.5%)

For monks, the patch notes did explicitly state that.  For disciples, they gave a very cryptic "slightly less" answer.

I am finding out the same thing i did with my monk.  I really am doing more dmg with weapons then bare fists like everyone is talking about.

I think I saw in the patch message that tehy changed the off hand ratio again, from 50% down to 30%.  i wasn't really paying attention to the specific disciple changes at the time though, but I'm sure if you trailed through the archived messages you'd see te one I mean.

The DroxUI helps you to track your DPS fairly well.

At lvl 13 I am working on about a 26 DPS with the weapons I am using.  This is up about 3-5 points from using no weapons to 2 weapons (1 in each hand).  The trick to using the DW is to make sure the off hand has the smaller or slower weapon in the off hand.  You have to play with it to see which will get you a better DPS. 

I cheat by using the DroxUi which calculates it for you.  Seems to work, though I am not sure if the DPS is correct, I can at least validate that I do more damage in the configuration that DroxUI states is the highest DPS.

I have not tried any of the 2 hand weapons.  One of the main reasons I play this class is for the h2h style and do not care for the weapons animation.
