better weapon for a 55monk.

i dont HAVE a 55monk, but i've read a little about them, and i heard alot of them use the Fiery Flame Spitter collectors axe. Well i found a weapon that is better than the FFS. except its not an axe. is there something that you benifit from with melee damage as a 55? or is this really a better weapon?

you can put a 20% enchantingmod on the axe..you cant on the truncheon thats why ppl like it so much, like the HoD sword

Oh My Bad
