for 60mil, i'd have to argue that getting a 800dps 22+% LS/socket WKL is better...

But fist for 65 got 1200 dps up to 200 dex, socket and no annoying fear (for pve). And we already have Won Kim as oh.

It seems like you already made up your mind.
Buy the Az ... if you don't like it, sell it and get the EF.
Maybe look at the Butchers .... those are nice too with LS, natural cd and socket.
I was using BS before my WKL.

If you like the Az over EF, go with Az. What's the problem here?

You wanted an advice. We all said EF, no?

And yes, for your budget, EF still is the best. I've probably bought like +30 EFs with various budgets for monks on JSP. Some deals were just insane. It's just a matter of you waiting for the right one to pop up on AH.

But, it's your gold, do whatever you want to do with it.

I didn't make my mind, just wanted to know the math. It's for my friend's monk I am playing wizard and have no clue about dual wielding mechanics. In my mind for 60 mill budget Az'turassq delivers more effective dps, so if anyone can give me math why 1040 60cd Fury is better than 1200 100cd Az'Turasq in terms of both damage and utility, I would greatly appreciate.

With 60 mil. I can shop a EF with +1100 +200dex +100vital with a socket easy. Maybe I can get a 90% emerald with it too.

Have you actually done this? Lifesteal in pvp is REALLY...REALLY bad. It calculates your health return AFTER pvp damage mitigation, so LoH is actually waaaaaay better. I'd be amazed to see someone tanking rend in an actual duel from LS alone. With EHP, yeah, you can tank it. Not because of LS though..because of EHP, lol. Stack enough life regen, gtg ;P

hits harder...decimal aps increase translates to both EF and OH...higher DPS and APS overall. there you go. that's math.

Against fat barb, blind palm sss run. Repeat. Lol

Didnt know palm was so useful. When u land a palm on wd or dh, you can see the palm when they are invi. Lol

MAPHACK!!

And I just use sti and owe all the time now. 3rd is flexible.

And lashing tail kick with hand of ytar is gg against a lot of chars.

Go dw set up / get some good spirit regen / spam kicks all day standing still. Let wds and dhs come close to you. Dashing strike when they come. Palm. They run. Kick again from standing still. Lol

And yeah ls fking suck.

Ran a 1250/200dex/socket Az with 1.55 atsp against my 114x /250dex / 110vit EF (75m)
My paper dps drop from 171k to 163k, skill damage drop from 492k to 456k and I am down by 1 atsp break point.

That is detailed math.
