Default A 55's Monk weapon!

Does any 55 monk here use the: Fiery Flame Spitter of Enchanting?

I use FFS for my 55/605 hybrid (not coining a term but writing out sb/ps/hb... is too long) cause I like the -armor.

But most of the time I just use a Totem Axe or a Rajazan's Fervor for my 55 or 605 cause you get the extra energy and 20% enchant time. Much better than just the enchant mod. You don't need the -armor for a 55 build so I'd look into getting one of the others.

Still pretty much dirt, since it's still here.

Also I use it depending on the build.

Agreed. That 10% universal recharge mod is a much more valuable asset than +5 energy.

Meh, I just stick with a Kephket's Refuge. It has the recharge, half cast, energy, and enchanting mods that are convenient as well as the ability to take out nightmares from range. Not only that, but it's cheap and easy to get. A melee weapon is nice to switch in order to trigger ripostes from Aatxes, but I find that a good staff is the most reliable for most 55/SB monk builds.

I still prefer Rajazans/Totem. The only use for the 10% recharge is it recharging SoJ, which is a mere 10% chance. Not needed imo.

That's a myth. I got one two nights ago without having favor. His appearance is random by all counts, no one knows for sure what makes him appear.

When will you ever need +5 energy though? A 55 monk has completely renewable energy that doesn't care about the max or min (so long as you can chain your major spells, which is never a problem).

Well, a sb monk soloing mursaat/shiro'ken needs the extra energy sometimes. You don't need +5e, but you don't need HRT 10% either.

For SB monks, the FFS is better, just for the lower armor for higher chances of getting hit for the 60 needed.

For 55...I Just use Rajazan's Fervor. It looks Hawt. And meh...Its good

Ive just created a new charchter, Got him runned to droks and looked for a powerleveler, Well ALL of the 55 monks that powerleveled me used either a rajazans fervor or totem axe. And when i asked do you know the fiery flame spitter of enchanting? The ALL said no.

Guess its like "oldschool" now

And btw the 10% recharge mod is much more usefull either for SoJ or Spellbreaker, not just this sometimes also for PS and HB for Divine favor. A 55 Monk shouldnt worry about his energy since he doesnt fight only one mob at a time, With bathazar's Spirit and Essence bond he has no problem (even just with 1 of them).

I've been to him twice with my warrior and both times he showed (we had favor one of the times)... I never knew he couldn't be there?!

Good point about the hct, but I don't 55 that much anymore, I actively try and avoid it! And when I'm sb'ing I use Kephkets for the 20/20, ench and energy...granted you can get most of it from a FFS and prot icon but I like getting the range. Still I have it equipped all the time so I guess you can say I use both...
