Currently i have a lvl 15 monk.

He uses the following weapons

2hand - Signal Clapper - 36-55 dmg , 3 speed (15 DPS)

1handers - Deadly Knuckles, 23-26 , 2.15 speed (11.16 DPS)
Claws of the Redcaps, 20-21, 2.20 speed (9.09 DPS)

Does having a 2hander mean having 15dps per hand? or 15 dps shared, making the 1 handers more.

Im trying to work this out because the 1handers are higher level weapons, yet when 1handers are equiped, i only get 36ish DPS, yet when the 2hander is equiped i get 56 DPS when hovering over my attack in player window.

Both my skills for these weapon types are the same. Why is the 1hand dps so low, even tho the weapons total more dps and are higher level?

I'm fairly confident that it's simply a matter of adding main hand DPS to off-hand DPS to determine your overall DPS rating. Notice however that off-hand DPS is approximately half of your main hand.

With the upcoming change to bare fists, I suspect our bare fists DPS ratings will decrease slightly after the patch. The change makes sense because in it's current form, there's little reason to even look for weapons. While that's nice from a DPS perspective, it does kill the fun factor a bit. At least for me it does. Weapons have almost always been the one area that got me the most excited about in terms of upgrades.
