Question regarding Copper Hammer of Striking and exp'ing...

I'm a level 26 Iksar monk residing on Vallon Zek server and I've been using a Copper Hammer of Striking in primary and Shaded Staff in secondary, my question is, how long should I keep using these weapons? Sure I love the proc of the hammer, but from what I understand my damage cap at 30 wont go any higher due to my hammer.



I guess I'm just a bit confused.. I'm just trying to be an overly effective monk to try and level as fast as possible I suppose to catch up this character with the rest of my guild.



My final question, I've been hunting at Lake of Ill Omen the past day or so, decent experience I must say, but is there any better for me? I have all expansions except GoD if that makes any difference.



Thanks in advance, hopefully some nice person can be my Sensei and teach me the ways while I'm still young, haha. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smokin.gif ALT=":smokin">

They took the nerf bat to the copper hammer late last night.



Get rid of it, prolly.



As to hunting, a few places to TRY



Upper guk, perhaps

SolA, perhaps

Netherbian lair

or Ldon adventures.

Yep, not only did they raise the level for the proc to work, they also fixed the damage on recommended level weapons.

Damage didn't get changed per se, just that reccomended level now has reduced damage (like intended)



So it will perform as a (26/50 * 13) = 6.76 (with some rounding)

damage weapon, not a 13/20 any more.
