Monk and Metal-Type Handwraps

[canisll]

I've finally got the Shintao Ring for my set and Silver, Cold Iron and Byeshk Handwraps.
Once I get 4 more Trophies I'll put Holy Burst on my ring.

What would be the best effects to put on Boss Beaters for Monks?
Holy Silver/Cold Iron of Greater Lawful/Chaotic Outsider Bane? I've heard that Holy Burst on the TOD rings won't stack with Cannith Crafted Wraps, is that still true?
Holy Byeshk of Greater Aberration Bane and finally Holy of Greater Construct Bane would also fall into my list.

holy burst is far and away the best effect to put on your first tod ring.

for wraps you could go anarchic or true chaos of greater lawful outsider bane for devils
axiomatic of greater chaotic outsider bane for demons
screaming of greater construct bane for forged.

Lovely list. Thank you very much. I'll be using that too

Keep in mind that Anarchic will give you a negative level when you wear them, as you're Lawful. So that's -5 hp, -1 saves and -1 ab. I don't feel this penalty is worth the extra damage, so I go with Shocking Burst on my devil beaters, freeing up the second ring slot for Epic Ring of the Stalker from challenges.

I remember reading something that while holy burst didn't work with holy crafted, I think it worked with anarc and shock.

Then again I could see why it wouldn't work. It's like a lit 2. You got holy and holy burst, but the burst only registers on crits. Though I don't think it' registers either with the crafted.

As for boss beaters id be something of greater bane. Or reg bane if u haven't the level for greater. anarchic seems your best bet even with the neg.

I'd prolly have a couple other rings with say exceptional con and such for different situations. Grats on the ring ya lucky ...

Welcome to the wonderful world of handwraps.

It's like a lit 2. You got holy and holy burst, but the burst only registers on crits. Though I don't think it' registers either with the crafted.

It used to and should be that you would get...
noncrit: weapon damage + 2d6 holy + 2d6 holy
crit: weapon damage + 2d6 holy + 2d6 holy + 3d6 holy burst

A lit 2 isn't analogous because you would have Shock and Shocking Blast or Shocking Burst and Shocking Blast. A Burst enchantment should do damage on every hit and extra damage on crit. Blast is what only does damage on crit.

Hello!

First of all thank you for your answers, those suggestions all made my wishlist already
As I'm a WIS build I might be better off going Shocking Burst on my Silver Wraps instead of Anarchic Burst.
(Although I'm not sure whether it will still be worthwile after the expansion hits).
Now I just need to level my crafter high enough (luckily I'm well on my way there .

I'm not on top of bugs/fixes concerning HWs, would it be worth crafting Holy + Greater Banes and wait for a fix?
Or is that something put off indefinitely?

Waiting for handwraps to be fixed is a bad plan.

On that note, don't plan your weapons around right now when it'll change in less than 2 weeks...unless you can afford to recraft your wraps very quickly. That said, if your monk was having trouble hitting as a wis build, you'll probably hit a bit more often when the expansion hits.
