re: Diablo 3 monk question

Fist weapons are active on attack animations, but not staffs. As said above, on fist attacks, staffs teleport to the back. It's pretty cheesy.

Depends on your build really, though. If you group alot, it's hard to beat an Inna's build monk. Great group buffs.

I mostly solo however, so I rerolled Ancient Legendary Sledge Fist and Vengeful Wind fist weps many times until they hit absurd damage stats. Paragon 700+, uber DPS/Life steal build. T13 is a challenge but my little monk's a lawn mower even on T12. Fun farming machine.
