2x 1 Handers are always better than any Skorn has ever been. Even if the damage goes down, killing speed gets faster, as there will be a huge amount of tornadoes floating around with fast weapons.

I had to use Skorn for a while when 1.05 came out and finally when i got 2x mediocre 1 hand weapons, dps went a bit down, but will never ever go using 2 handed weapon on Monk again. Only setup where it works, is Tempest Rush with enough spirit regeneration and even then you can find 2 million gold weapons that are equal to Skorn, just like i did yesterday

Just browsed AH a bit and well, found 20+ weapons that are equal to 1300 dps skorns and all of them have 5.5%+ life steal, 170+ critical and socket, but the price is from 200k-20 million, Skorns are ? 150 million + ?

Does the tornados attack with the same aps as you do or do they have a fixed aps?

Same.

ok, then 100k dps with 1 aps and 100k dps with 2 aps will deal the EXACT same dmg in the end with sweeping wind cyclone.

I believe so.

However, what I'm not so sure on is that it's possible to spawn MORE number of tornadoes with DW set up since you are swing much faster per second than the Skorn set up. This all depends on how much critical chance you have.

I can probably dig through some articles and shit to get this thing confirmed, but I'm not that anal about this. haha

I just like swinging faster.

from what this guy says (lets assume hes correct)
dw with 2 weapons with same aps  and 2h gives the same sweeping/cyclone dmg output if your sheet dmg is the same.
BUT if you have 2 weapons with different aps then you can get more dmg IF you start sw when next attack is with the big dmg/slow weapon. and lose dmg if you start sw with the low dmg/high aps werapon.

Seems like you are happy with the Skorn set up. Maybe you should just stick with it?

What's the underlying reason that you want to switch to DW?
