I started putting together some weapon sets for my PVE monk the other day. I pretty much decided straight off that weapon / off hand would be better, its pretty much sacraficing the HSR for +30 health and +2 energy or +7 energy. (that may be wrong, its late and i cant remember 100%)

Ill say this now, im really not bothered about greens or rare skins, most of my weapons are collectors simply cause its so much cheaper.

These are just general purpose sets and i havent gone out of my way to make energy hiding sets, though i do have the earth scroll from cities of ascalon quest and a -5e weapon which i use for rebirth

Healing
main hand = 11-22 +5e^50 HCT of healing (20%)
offhand = +12e +1 healing (20%) +30 hp

Smiting
main hand = 11-22 +5e^50 HCT of smiting (20%)
offhand = +12e +1 smiting (20%) + 30 hp

When it came to a protection set, i wasnt sure wether to maybe divert from the wand / offhand so that i could get a 20% enchant mod since i decided this would generally be better than a +1.

I was wondering wether to go for a perfect prot staff with prot wrapping and either +e or +hp head, or a +5e sword/axe with an enchant mod and a offhand with HCT and HSR. Or if someone knows of an offhand with 12e enchant 20% and +30 hp i could jsut use that and a prot wand.

So basically, what do you think of the sets i have now and what advice can you give about them or the prot set.

Anyway thats all been a bit text heavy, sorry bout that and sorry if some of it doesnt make sense but i tried. Any feedback is appreciated

I use a shield and a recharge wand or +5e/+30hp melee. Shield is 5/30 for heal, 2/45 for boonprot. I save the foci for when I actually need energy. You should be fine at 25~30e most of the time.

AFAIK you can't get +enchant duration on foci.

I'm using Geoffer's Bulwark and a +5e katana of enchanting, and a scar eater (20/20 heal +60hp)

I use the collector staff from outside Port Sledge for healing, halves cast time and recharge of healing prayers with +5 energy and +20% enchant mods (may change to +health). I realize the +5 energy sword/offhand is probably better, but I like my staff...I've had it for a long time.

For protection, I use the Yakslapper...it was my first green drop or my boon prot gear (check Maxiemonsters boon prot guide, some of the weapon sets are good for protection builds).

For smiting, I went and farmed a Scourgewind's Branch, I don't smite much so I'm not sure what the ideal set is.
