Hey guys,
Was just wondering what weapon everyone is using.
Is a 2 hand Daibo better than 2 one handed fist weapons?
Do I just add the 2 dps numbers up from the single hand fist weapons to compare to the dps of a Daibo?
Thanks for any help.

Personally, I prefer a fist weapon and a shield. It feels safer, which is nice when I'm playing in hardcore mode. I'm currently just using a 628 dps magic fist weapon with no interesting stats beyond its damage.
Also, no, you don't add up the damage from both weapons when comparing to the damage of a daibo. I believe it's the average damage of the two, and then a 15% increased attack speed on top of that.
So add the 2 dps's together, divide by 2 and add then work out what number equals 15% attack speed right?
If thats the case the daibo's I've seen at lvl 50 so far where I'am out dps 2 fist weapons hands down.
You use your shield purely for the Dex?

A daibo will get you higher raw dps, but it generates a LOT less spirit and therefore you can't use your abilities as often. In single target fights a daibo will do slightly more damage but for group play more spirit means more group support.
2x Fist weapon: Most spirit, only good damage if BOTH weapons are good.
1x Daibo: Least spirit (by far), highest damage, least utility.
1x Fist + 1x Shield: Good spirit, good damage and a lot of defense. This is the middle way a lot of people prefer.
Ta mate, apart from block and dex. on a shield is there anything else I should look for?
Having just got through Act 1 in Hell mode I'am seeing its getting harder to melt mobs the further in I get.
Naturally attack speed and dex. on my armor with spirit regen is a factor as well but from what I know from my Wizard and Demon Hunter is the dps from your main hand is always the main dps.
So this applies to a Monk as well I'am assuming?
I'am using 2 good fist weapons currently so looking to upgrade, just want to make sure I know what to look for before I spend the money.

When starting out on hell, I found it very helpful to get a couple of rings and a pair of gloves with increased attack speed. So if you haven't done that already, it should bump your DPS up quite a bit. It'll also help you regenerate life even faster if you have a fair amount of life on hit.
Thanks guys, just out of interest what kind of dps are you guys getting from Hell mode to Inferno?
I probably have half the dps my Wizard has but I seem to be keeping my head above water but I still think its a little low.
2665 dps at level 52 with 20441 health.

Thanks mate, I changed some stuff around and got more life on hit and attack speed so seeing an improvement in survivability.
If the AH wasnt so over inflated it would be a lot easier to manage the gear with all the stats you need.
Currently looking at dex, spirit regen, attack speed, life on hit, defense for my shield, dps for main hand and then finally vitality so I can be around to use my gear.
I dont think I've left any stats out that I need to watch?
