Ok, i keep seeing posts asking whats the best weapon for a monk (healing)?
In reality (virtual, that is) is anything really considered for a monk to do any damage anyways??
The only reason a group takes a monk with them is to heal not to fight.
So y not have 2 + energy (or + health) for each hand? and totally get rid of staff/wand
is this possible?
Question for the healing monks, and others...

You can get a wand that has a small +energy (I think 5 is max but I'm not sure). In your other hand you can carry an ankh or something for more energy. It's not possible to carry 2 support items.

Good point, my Monk carries a 12-15 smiter, but I care more about the 21 power thingy.

oh ok, from what i've seen, if wands can only have +5 energy max, probably Staff (with the right upgrades) is the way to go

You're better off with wands because there's the +26 or whatever focus items.

that much energy bonus means a -1 regen which i think is not worth it
jakatak
how/why do u get a -1 regen?
Warlawk
offhand focus items give +12 energy
you can also get offhand focus items that give +12
+15 energy -1 energy regen. that additional mana is linked to the -1 regen. they dont come seperately. thats what he is reffering to.
you can get +5 energy from a wand, and +12 from off hand (the -1 regen makes the +27 energy useless) which gives you +17 energy. a staff with the best upgrade will give you +15 energy, however, you can also add a suffix to that for another 5 def/30 HP/20 enchantments or whatever.
if anyone wants to know you can get a fire wand from the collector right outside the nolani acadamy that has +5 energy. the damage is crap, but who cares.

Well, what is so bad about so much energy at the cost of regen? Fire your mana until you are depleted and switch weapons ^^

i dont think that works as i tried that
if you switch to a lower energy item when you have zero energy i think it still takes that energy (it subtracts from your current energy pool, not just the max) away putting you in the negative (which ofcourse you cant see)

audio is correct, you can have negative energy, and you will by trying that trick. im not saying the -regen items are useless, just that it takes a very specialised build to make good use of them, and they are a detriment to most standard builds.
