I run the FoT TC + Cyclone build and according to D3up.com my damage from both FoT and SW are higher using the WKL. Due to no accurate damage tracking (that I have found in game) it seems really hard to see if this is true. I ran a few games and it feels faster but who knows it could just be a placebo effect. On my character sheet the dps loss is around 40k, but supposedly the damage for the actual abilities is higher.
Does anyone have input or have played around with a similar scenario? I must admit not having to deal with feared mobs is a huge plus. My armory link is below.
I know my Nat's reflection is pretty crappy.)
Weapon stats are
WKL
162 dex 125 vit (which is awesome) 6% increased lightning and 24% increased damage done by lightning abilities. Socket with 110% crit damage gem
I know the current view of EF for monk, but I'd like to share my experience too.
I play at MP10 and farm in group at MP7 for higher efficiency. My stats are 50+CC, 500+CD, AS=2.4, dex about 3000, LS=5.7, LOH=500+, AR=800, armor=5k, HP>40k. I play SW/cyclone + WoL. The trash in the acts are so dense now, you just have no time to chase around, EF gives me high DPS and fast spirit regain so that I can continuously throwing bells to mobs until they are all dead. cyclone is still very useful for elites and ubers, but bell is the main killer and life return, the experience is just tremendous: 900% weapon damage on everything per bell. Never die even on molten or arcane unless I stop hitting.
My previous EF had 1287 dps, 65% crit dmg, socket and 0.25 att. sec. My WKL is in my sig. Tested on Ghom (MP10) I killed him in 39 sec with my EF. 31 sec with my WKL. There is simply no contest.
EF is only for boosting your paper dps and we all know that's pretty much useless
Oh and ef suck balls if you cant kinda oneshot things on higher mps. The fear is super annoying. I sold mine a few weeks ago and never regret it.
Ditto. I kept EF for about a week and couldn't stand it. I tried WLK, and maybe I just had a poor one, but it didn't seem very effective to me. The only way I'd try WLK again is with a socket + LS.
Long story short : FoT/Cyclone build = WKL+ Sword/Axe/Spear/Mace, Bell build = Echoing fury with high damage range (spear/mace/axe ) weeapon in main hand.
And for sweet baby jesus with a soft little baby powdered butt's sake, get a witching hour, u lack attack speed and u can get a lot more damage from it.And if u want u can get a non crit mempo with 250+dex, more ehp, good dmg and lots of HP.

Similar to WKL, apart from a socket, you have 1 choice between CD and LS but not both.
A good rare weapon can match in DPS overall, but if AS is required, EF is the best.
