Not sure if this is the right place...but I'm 30/50 and don't care to go any further given the allotted time.

Trying to get a mainhand one hander for my Prot monk. Going to be using this monk for RA basically..running as mentioned, a prot build.

Should I go with something actually useful like a prot one handed wand? Or should I do a Chaos Axe to kind of match my tormented shield and throw +5 energy on it?

Thanks

For pvp always go for function over fashion.

Go for the Chaos Axe. Its more fun. Its only RA; hardly serious PvP. And if you wanted functionality over fashion you'd be better off using a PvP only Monk anyway. So when using a PvE character by all means monopolize on fashion.

I also wouldn't worry about the +5 energy mod too much either. You should have a +30e/-2 regen wand/focus set ready on swap for those low energy situations anyhow.

Infact along those lines for the Axe a +15% dmg/-5e mod could be more useful to hide energy from the odd E-Surger that makes their way to RA.

Yes: stay on axe+shield set as much as possible. When you're monking it's good to have as less energy as you can so you can manage it better, you should also have on a bit higher energy set (axe+offhand) and a high energy set. Last thing should be suicide set (vampiric weapon and grim cesta).
