What Imbues from offhand weapons work now - Post U36 - for shuriken throwers

[pappo]

Now that the AA tree is gone for Monkchers shuriken builds, since the U36 update, what imbues do work when a monkcher has a short sword or kama in the offhand?

So far I have tested and proven that Tendon slice, feeding and draining do but paralyzing does not.
Has anyone else built a shuriken thrower monk/ranger or pure monk and used an offhand weapon for the procs ?
What procs worked for you ?

I haven't tested recently but AoE procs (from ToEE heroic/epic weapons, Some Stars of Day, Celestia), Stone Prison (this was on the old Erosive weapons and can be made on a tier 2 alchemical weapon--low DC), general buffs (like sneak damage which cannot be crafted anymore, seeker, doubleshot), freezing ice (on ToEE scimitar leaving you uncenetered or Frozen tunic et al), etc.

I haven't checked lately on these things. Not playing a thrower now.

just to add: Freezing ice can be crafted onto heroic greensteel but i do not know if it stacks with other sources (it does seem to stack with minor freezing ice). Not sure if earthgrab procs from offhand onto mainhand; if so that tier 2 alchemical earth earth would be superb in offhand for levels 16-23ish.

paralyzing never procced from offhand or does enervation.

You are a font of information. I was just looking at herioc greensteel freezing ice. hmm....

Not sure if it is worth it, but a lot of folks are relying on freezing ice for stopping mobs in reaper difficulties. I think it is a dual shard weapon which is very PITA.

Or you can do a ToEE offhand weapon ML 7 and add one of four AoE attributes, like Acid (see here). I do not know if the (elemental) blast effect works onto the mainhand but the AoE are like the Stars of Day or Celestia.

I'm just gonna leave this here. Hopefully it should be useful. Yes, the information is old, so if something's changed, update it, but at least it'll be a good leaping-off point.
