Machoui LVL 50 iksar Monk Innoruk

37Damage, 34Delay, Damage Bonus: 12 at level 49, which is super nice. So if you are around 50 and looking at this item don't be concerned with the possible dropped damage if below level 56.

Also just purchased this on Fennin Ro yesterday for 60k, well worth every copper.

Just throwing this out to see if anyone has parsed the damage on a few different combos out there. Currently I have a Staff of flowing water as my 2hb, Golden Wraps of the Compact and my BST epic secondary in my offhand. But I also have a 15/21 piercer and a WLK. The combos I was testing out go as follows
1. SOFW(42/34 2hb)
2. GWOTC(17/21 h2h) + Claw of the Savage Spirit (13/22 h2h. 40% haste +30attck)
3. GWOTC (17/21) + Trueborn Dagger(15/21) (LDON)
4. GWOTC (17/21) + WLK (16/22 75DD proc)
5. Claw of the Savage Spirit (Primary and Secondary) BST EPIC CLAWS.

I have all these weapons and can't really make up my mind which is more DPS. I've tried all the different combos and here is what I have found from my tests. (I was in veksar testing these out on the iksar golems in the golem yard. My results are based off how long it took me to take down a mob with certain weapon combos and the health I had left in percentage I have 5264 HP with Aego since I box a 60 Cleric.)

1.SOFW = 1min 45 seconds. 65% health left
2.GWOTC + CoTSS (Secondary) 2min 2 seconds. 56% health left
3.GWOTC + Trueborn dagger of the dark(15/21) 1min 56 seconds 54% health left)
4.GWOTC + WLK 1min 51 seconds 58% health left
5.BST EPIC (Primary/Secondary) 2min 10 seconds 43% health left.

Now I know the level on the iksar behemoths vary slightly so I don't think my tests are really accurate. I may just download EQcompanion tonight and parse my fights instead to see the actual numbers. I just wanted to see if you guys have any insight. I'm a 65 ogre BST with at least 20 of my AA's spent in offensive aa's. Beastial Frenzy is maxed and such. I want to believe that SOFW still pwns my GWOTC + off hand of choice combo...but it seems pretty close. Lemme know what you guys think. Also, When I have h2h items equipped my Attack goes up a little more than 100points. That's pretty significant. Seems my max hit with the GWOTC is around 117ish for a normal hit and my highest crit with it so far is 203. Normal crits are around 190's. In terms of haste, I have celerity that I cast on myself and Belt of the Destroyer from NTOV (41%) Perma haste. BTW all my stats are maxed at 280. I don't have any planar power type aa's yet. I don't know how accurate these tests were since I don't have a parser. Anybody try it yet? I am kinda curious to see what kind of h2h item you need in order to out DPS SOFW.

4 weeks ago, this staff was going for around 80k. 2 weeks ago, I have seen one for 45k and bought it, thinking this would be a great deal.
And just now there is one for 25k in bazaar, making we wonder if either

1) this staff is dropping much more often than before
2) maybe all monks level 56+ have one of these or better

I still see lots of monks wielding the standard Entwood Mace / Waning Light Katar combo so I am guessing for the 1) or am I just totally wrong and EM/WLK is more dps than this?

hy all.
The average price above is totally outta date, the high price was ok last year when first staffs came out.
On luclin-server are tons of them in bazaar for sale and prices are dropping fast.
Bought mine for 70k yesterday and I think price was ok. I wouldnt pay more then that cause I am really missing a proc on it :-)
