It is my understanding that the patch will do the following:

THere are two monk upgrades coming, one sooner than the other:
1)Haste patch
It will imbue level 20 - 50 monks with a haste effect that reduces the damage on
their fists. The magnitude of this effect increases with level (at level 50 it
will be a 15% delay reduction). The haste effect STACKS with item and PC buffing
speed effects. In essence a level 50 monk with a haste sash will be dual
wielding 15dmge 25 delay puppies (in the form of his fists). Monk fists
currently are about 15dmge 36 delay weapons - at level 50.

2) One handed blunt patch: call it Nunchuck patch:
Abashi has also been quoted on the message board as saying that in the future
(afew months down the line) monk only 1handed blunt weapons will be implemented
: they should proc and offer us more diversity. No word on whether the haste
effect on our fists will carry over to one-handed blunt. I doubt it will
however. I suspect that the 1handed blunt weapons will be implemented to give
us more variety. You know switch to "nunchucks of stunning" for extra
interrupts when fighting casters, or "nunchucks of slowing" for proc'ing snare
when in a dungeon. Who knows there may introduce a godly nunchuck of
ASSWHOOPing that is a 10 dmage 12 delay type thingy... (of course it will only
found in the plains)
