Basically, I'm just curious on which wraps would be (1) good for taking a monk from 2 to 20, and (2) actually benefit from having frost or icy burst on them.
Mainly asking because I've a relatively good drop rate of recipe 5 on me and have several spares, and that I do plan to TR my monk eventually.
I'd throw frost on just about anything you actively use. I've applied it to my 3 main weapons. Probably should add it to my holy 3% weight wraps too.
icy burst...honestly, I don't think it's worth the trouble. If you can get several kits on your own, by all means, but seriously...1d10 bonus damage 10% of the time...averages out to what, .55 damage per strike?
I suppose it's more useful if you're reliably hitting stunned targets - then again if your targets are stunned they are dying fast anyway.
I've never done epic content though.
I just can't see dropping big money on adding what amounts to very limited bonus damage. It'd be one thing if we were swinging khopeshs or heavy picks.
I basically put the icy burst on everything I wasn't using as boss beaters (because the dr will soak the ice damage). That can be a bit time consuming and/or expensive, so if I was to suggest which ones to focus on, I'd put it on my 5% weighted wraps first. I did make a pair of twink wraps that were min lvl 2 +1 wraps of pg I figure those with the icy burst at lvl 2 will be nice after I TR.
I haven't bothered to check and see if any of the newer named wraps are as good or better than +1 pg of icy burst. I recommend you check that out first as I am used to wasting time and resources but wouldn't want to be the cause of you doing the same.
