Hello fellow Monks,
     I was in a grp with a couple other Monk's this weekend.  When you get 3 Monk's in a grp of course we become competitive.  While we were throwing around our egos I took off my Flawless Cavaliers Handwraps of Striking x2 and equipped my old Cragwind Stormslam weapon.  I noticed my ATK was higher with that 2H than my handwraps.  Now i know those wraps are beter than that 2hander and deal more DPS.  Why then is my ATK lower?  Or am I just missing somthing and the handwraps suck...  Thanks in advance for any feedback

ill make 2 replys.

1) You were looking at just the attack of your main hand when you look at atk.  There is a second one titled off hand.  You can add up Attack + Offhand and get a general idea of how the two hander compares to the 2x one handers.

Okay I will use a 2 hander and and 2 identical one handers for an example.   This is just an example I am at work and dont have access to any of my real numbers so just make believe like they are real so you can get idea of where the vaules come from.

Str: 900, + dmg = 450 for dual wielders and 450*1.2 for 2 handers
Flat dmg: +200 from iron hand, +450 from str

Weapon dmg: 2 hander 275-300
2x one handers 145-165 (each)


Attack: Primary hand dps
Off hand: Offhand dps (will be 0 for 2 handers)

For the 2 hander with self buffs and 900 str
Attack: Weapon dmg + str*1.2 + 200  = 1015-1040
Off hand: 0

For the 2x one handers
Attack: Weapon dmg + 0.66*str+0.66flat dmg =574-594         
Offhand: 0.5 wpn dmg + 0.33str+0.33 flat dmg = 281-301
Total dmg :  855-895
