    Here's my limited monk experience:

    Use HANDWRAPS. Until you need a vorpal or wounder, use the handwraps. You attack much faster than dual anything else (the difference is quite big, at least 10%), and you only need ONE good handwrap rather than 2 for 2-kama-fighting. You also gain +2 to hit with handwraps (well not really, you just lose the -2 to hit from dual weilding), you never have to worry about an ooze again, and it looks better than every other 2 weapon user out there hehe. Oh and if you have more than 13 strength, your off hand will also do more damage. The only problem is stuff with DR, but thats hardly anything until the vale. A pair of transmuters for these rare occurences takes care of that.

    Until lvl 12-14 or so, I wouldnt ever stop using handwraps. There's just no need for wounders or vorpals until you hit the gianthold or vale.

    I agree completely. So far, my handwraps have proven to be far more useful than my kamas. I only plan on using kamas when I start to fight hp-inflated monsters (Vorpals, stat dmg, etc.). Not to mention that using handwraps allows me to use Stunning Fist and Stunning Blow on separate timers.

    If you're having fun with Stunning Blow/Fist grab some weighted handwraps...Man that's allot of fun. Managed to get my hands on some +2 Flamingburst of Weighted 5% and it's soooo sweet!
