Check my Femelo and recomend high end gear please.

Globe of the Elements Combined for range, Platinum Diamondine Pearl jewelry for ears and fingers, Platinum Diamondine Pearl Necklace or Blazing Firebeads are good for the neck. Imp Hide is the only thing that comes to mind for waist and feet. Grab a Charm of the Guardian (Charm of Balance would probably work fine too).

Other things I'd recommend:
  1. Sell the Mruuk's Combat Boca and switching your hands slot to an item with elemental damage. This is going to be your best DPS option until you've raided into tier 5 or so.
  2. Augment all of your gear with the best resist augs.

You'll want Platinum Diamondine Pearl jewelry even when you get superior gear in every other slot through raiding so it's an A+ investment.
 
1) Finish Mainquest and bind that aug to your gear.
2) Sell MCB. Get hands slot with +2 (or more) damage (gloves of calefaction, contaminated gloves, etc.) Your bare hands has a better ratio (13/19) than that weapon, adding in bonus damage puts it over the top.
3) Guardian charm would be good, dodge bonus is nice. Or save for barrier charm.
4) Feet slot: Shadow Silk and Imp Hide are obvious. Also, Rock-Solid Sabatons, Crimson leather boots, Gaia's Step, & Grandmaster's boots come to mind. None have the agi/dex of your quest boots though.
5) Waist is a tough spot, but: Burning sash of elements(20ac and +80hp), Charred Bolster belt (but that is haste also), Tainted sinew cord (stats aren't as good, but would help if you have aggro issues), or Abhorrent Girdle (less ac, but more str/dex/+hp/resists).
6) Head: Imp hide, Kedge rimmed, and merc's cap come to mind.
7) Wrist: imp hide (of course), T-map bracers (dark alloy, fungus mesh), wristband of the stalker (quest).

And Wesell is right, get yourself some plat diamond pearl rings/ears and some resist augs (mr & fr/cr).

(Note: I checked no weights on the equip, bst and monk share alot of equip, so it is either stuff I have, wish for, or am working towards. But bst don't have the weight limitation you do.)
 
I'm just gonna throw my 2 cents in here.

Bare fists with bane dmg gloves is a must.

Feet:
Boots of the inferno (dropable)
Decaying leather Mocassins (Dif Tmap)

Waist:
Think I wore imphide forever

Haste:
Mod Tmap 32% earring thing

Why are you not working on rapid feign? It (FD) is the most important thing a monk does.

Milli peds could be another thing to watch for in auction for feet. If you can manage to get in on vd maps there's a good weightless waist option with like 80 hp and 5 to all resists, and a good neck with around 100 hp or so and 10 to all resists. Also, do quests. The mq aug that was mentioned is a big one. The aug from the faction quests (CoI, Silver Crown, Blackscale) is another. The wristband of the stalker someone else mentioned. Once you find a guild start working on either giant or dragon faction, as those armor quests will give you nice stuff eventually even if you only end up using them for the clickies. Start filling your aug slots as you get gear you think you're gonna have for awhile. As Renshu said, as a general rule for all monks, I'd think getting rapid feign as soon as it became available would be priority if you're 65. Oh, and the newport ring quests are a pretty easy way to get a nice ring slot.

IMO, even if it's not gear that you'll keep forever, it's worth at least throwing a cheap aug in it. Maybe it's just 1 AC, or a few HP, but they add up still. Even putting a decent aug in, you can /auc it once you replace it, and it will be worth that much more in asking price.
 
Thanks for all the advice. Will start looking into the suggestions.

as for augs, I would rather not waste the money until I know its going to be placed in an item I will have for a long time. Just not worth it to me.

Will have to parse bane damage vs MCB. I did some parsing with bare fist at 65 vs the MCB as I was expecting the MCB to be out done by fists. To my surprise, even at level 65 the MCB does better DPS plus it gives stats.

Point out my weak spots please. Looking for high end gear suggestions.
Bind on Equip items that are not over 10k-15k or No drop items that are solo able.

Weak spots imo are feet, waist, charm.
As for haste will keep what I got until I get a no drop upgrade.

Appreciate it.

Boots of the Inferno.
Seal of the Farhag.
Burning Sash of the Elements.
Pneumatic Support Brace.
Exquisite Golden Earring.
Blazing Firebeads.
Diggin' Claw.

And then diamondine jewelry all the way around. Basically, you want anything with a hefty amount of stam and resists on it.

Also, monks -- especially lower tier -- should stuff ALL their gear with resist augs.

Why Seal of the Farhag? Sure, it has good stats... but I rather diamindine then that thing. Then again, I normally have shammy buffs.
If I was a hybrid, all that mana makes sense, but as a monk...
 
I've got a related question, and I also appreciate people posting the gear suggestions since my monk needs some new gear badly.

Currently at level 59, I'm using a 30/25 2hb Staff of Shadowed Movement. I know it's kind of like comparing apples to oranges, but how would that stack up against bare fists + gloves of calefaction? Does anyone know when they would overtake the staff's dps?

So 30/25 2hb or 12+2/21 fists? What about 12+2/20, 13+2/19, 13+2/18 (the fist stats I'll have as I finish leveling)? I'll probably end up parsing some mobs to see for myself since I doubt anyone has a concrete answer one way or another, but thought I'd ask since the mruuk's vs fist is kind of related.

2h has a bonus, where 1h (fists) do not. The best data available is from when Wesell did parses. If you want to try parsing yourself, note the comments wiz made about truncation error on client-side reporting that could introduce some error on low dmg weapons when parsing.

Also, you need to scale the glove damage down to the delay of your fists, so it becomes something closer to 1.68 dmg before you factor in resists.

All things considered it looks like it could swing either way... I'd be interested in seeing your parses :)
 
fists pretty much beat any 2h up to like tier 5

pretty sure the damage bonus on a fast 2h won't be very significant
 
At 65 mruuks is well below fists with +2 dmg gloves. Pristine is a bit closer, but still loses if I recall correctly. Even at 63 Nonpristine mruuks loses out. I see a lot of monks still wielding mruuks well beyond it's primary usefulness (often in primary hand even) for stats/dodge and just cause they like attacking faster I suppose. It's a great item for 10-15 levels or so, but eventually ya gotta move on. And since it's not hard at all to get solid +dmg fists for monks here, there's no reason not to.

As for head. There's a modmap (pretty sure it was mod) drop that is almost the same stats as imp with a +crit chance and better resists than imp (IIRC) Fomelo me, I'm wearing it. My belt is also solid if you can spare the weight... although the clicky is a bit disappointing (resists are nice tho). It's off a Dmap.

Even with relic buffs, his toon is not going to eclipse max stam. Overcap stam is the tits anyway. Also, Seal of the Farhag has other useful stats, along with 16 FR.

I'd use the 2hander until 64-65.
