What weapons should i be using for a Monk?

[Romire]

Im currently using 2 Axes on my monk that has 65.7/67.6 DPS each.

One of my ID friends is saying i should be using a staff or other 2h weapon for max dps

Does it really matter on what your using?

Only use a 2h if its a real big dps upgrade.
Dual wield gives faster spirit regen

Dual wield = more hits = more spirit = more wave of light with explosive light rune which is retarded damage

whatever is the cheapest + most dmg upgrade :P
I notice u have dex+vitality on them, that's really cool if you can manage it but all of your moves are based off your weapon damage. Getting the highest dps weapons you can afford with any stats at all (int doesnt matter etc) will be a much better help to you in the game. I spent 3 difficulties looking specifically for dex+vit weapons/fist weapons to "fit" monk better, then tried just equipping the highest dps wep I found. The difference in dps was immense. In late hell/early inferno you might want to try 1 hander + a shield for elite packs

Also, with the passive ability (whose name I don't remember ), equipping 2 fist weapons increases your dodge chance by an additional 15%

2h would be the same DPS as DW if you didn't have any support abilities that cost spirit but do not scale with weapon damage, and if you didn't have Transcedence. But you do, so 2h sucks.

dual wield is better for leveling imo. attack speed is everything. more spirit = more damage, which is not reflected on your character sheet.

its just dual wield, doesnt have to be fists.

Really? Fist weapons were doing me crappy damage?
