why do people use wkl over ef? all the ones ive seen are pretty low dps too. am i missing something?

It's the 25% Lightning Skills Damage.
Most Monks uses Fist of Thunder - Thunder Clap and Sweeping Wind - Cyclone Combo(Spawns Lightning Balls) which benefits from the Lightning skill damage from WKL.

so even if it shows im lower dps its probably still higher dps?

Yes. The same with Soj that have 30% damage to elites.
I always have a Soj in my inventory to swap when I encounter elites/champs/goblins.

I'm permanent buffed at 350k in runs. With 24% bonus, I'm at like 430k. Like this, the bonus dmg scales with our buffed dmg.

Sorry I'm kinda drunk. Hope I'm not posting something stupid

sick. lightning. damage. bro. doesn't show on sheet DPS

Hi fellow monks, what should i upgrade next? i had a litany instead of soj but i think i kill elites lot faster with soj. Any recomendations appreciated
