Avoidance question

On a recent Kaezul war event I won this.

Really Heavy Rock
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
Skill: 1H Blunt Atk Delay:44
DMG:33
Effect: Concussion (Combat, 0.0)
STR:+15 STA:+15 HP:+100
Stun Resist:+5%
Weight:25.0 Size:Giant
Class: WAR PAL RNG SHD MNK BRD ROG BST
Race: All


I am a monk and it is, ofcourse, very heavy for me. But the stats are pretty amazing. Before I looted it I was told from a few nice tells that Avoidance only really counts when pulling. I was told to quickly switch items when fighting mobs. From what I was reading, AC gets reduced after 24 stone. With this item on I am now at 41 weight. I'm sure I can reduce it a little but probably not much lower then 37 or 38. Will this really effect my performance? I usually group with a shammy and occasionally with another warrior and wizard. Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome.
thanks

edit: added classes. I am only concerned from the monk/avoidance perspective.
 
When you are DPS'ing a mob it isn't a problem when you are over the weight limit (19 stones at level 65 IIRC) but if you're tanking you lose A TON of avoidance the higher your weight gets - I recommend putting this thing into a 100% WR bag - I'd keep it for DPS for the sole purpose of getting a proc or two per fight.
 
Yeah as long as you aren't tanking that thing looks sweet :) you just need to obtain a bag to put it in

Not much of a monk item imo...what other classes are on this?

Any melee class.

The item does seem kind of weird to put on a monk though, concussion is cool but imo it would go best on a beastlord who has no innate aggro reduction, other than s4.

edit: wow im terrible at mental math, ty wesell.
It's only 2.8% better though, not 4. :hmph: (rock= .75, fists are .722_)

Really Heavy Rock has a ~4% better ratio than monk fists, plus obviously the proc and stats.

0.02888... is close to 4% of 0.7222... thus going from bare fists to Really Heavy Rock is ~4% ratio improvement.
 
yeah, wear it as soon as you have someone to tank instead of you and it should be cool for everyone (you + the tank and healer that will love you).
 
Pretty lawl weapon, adding the MNK on it made me rofl.
But yeah it should be high dmg, low aggro + -aggro proc ... really interesting weapon.
 
I was watching the rolls and thought it was funny that a monk won it and that it was a monk usable weapon. So many really good 1hb weapons that wiegh almost nothing are not monk usable and then this thing drops in the war.
As was stated above, look into getting yourself a WR bag. Do some Tmaps and you'll get one sooner or later.
Grats on the rock, If i had one I would use it for the proc
