Experts, What percentage of a monk’s total damage comes from his weapons? Do their burn discs like ironfist, speed focus, and terrorpalm amplify weapon damage? I assume Heel does kicks. Is that correct ? The question I’m trying to answer is - if a new weapon has a 10% better ratio, what percentage increase can I expect in DPS? Thanks in advance Sprezz

Overall, a bit under half that monk's damage was plain weapon damage, the rest was kicking & skill attacks, a bit of procs. Plain weapon damage might have been a higher proportion of damage with a bit more modern weapon, but she wasn't wielding, like, trash. The long chunk of Unfettered Emerald Excellence: /tell Raidmonk Raidmonk -vs- Unfettered Emerald Excellence: -- DMG: 211436353 -- DPS: 243309 -- Scaled: 240815 -- Crush: 89154695 -- Kick: 63400545 -- DirDmg: 31879628 -- Strike: 20548693 -- Hit: 5140165 -- Smash: 1250800 -- Environmental: 61827 -- % dmg as normal: 24.3% -- % dmg as critical: 65.2% -- Non-crit rate: 47.8% -- crit rate: 45.8% -- crippling rate: 6.5% -- Attempts: 5535 -- Hits: 5277 -- Missed: 258 -- Accuracy: 95.3% -- Avg Hit: 40067 -- Max hit: 1374626 -- DMG to PC: 5464847 That's one of the best geared monks in game, with a hotass Ascending Sun Battle Staff. His weapon damage was actually a lower proportion of his overall dps in this log, 42% versus 47% in the above mission, presumably because a raid format with a consistent target instead of 20 littler mobs gets more burns poured in? Whaatever. Heel does not amplify weapon damage. Heel is Heel of Zagali Rk. III 100 92/tick 0s 15m T6 30s+ n/a Self Hate: 1 1: Decrease Flying Kick Timer by 7s 2: Increase Flying Kick Damage by 74% 3: Increase Chance to Hit with Flying Kick by 145% Neither does Ironfist, Ironfist is Ironfist Discipline Rk. III 88 553 + 21/tick 0s 30m T4 60s+ n/a Self Hate: 1 1: Increase Dragon Punch Damage by 260% 2: Increase Eagle Strike Damage by 260% 3: Increase Flying Kick Damage by 260% 5: Increase Round Kick Damage by 260% 6: Increase Tiger Claw Damage by 260% 10: Increase Kick Damage by 260% So those are skill attack boosting discs, not weapon damage. Terrorpalm does amp hit damage, and Eye of the Storm, and Infusion of Thunder, and Xan Fi's Whistle. Here's a search for "increase hit damage by". Speed focus doesn't boost hit damage, per se, but makes you hit a lot more frequently so weapon dps goes up.
Szilent, thanks kindly for the information. Erudite Monk you are. I recall one of the guild rangers saying their wep damage was in the 30% zone, so 40-50% accords. Cross fingers ... i might get an ascending battle staff one day Thanks Sprezz
