The raid handwraps still aren't really worth it, even with planar possibilities. Reinforced fists is on half a dozen monk things, including the spider-spun caparison. Stunning +10 is eh, you should be able to stun anyway, and it's also found on plenty of better wraps. The antipodal damage is weak, and how much does doublestrike 6% matter when you're only occasionally doublestriking for crap damage?
Maybe I'm wrong? I'm no monk expert, I just like running around really fast on mine and punching things, but I'm just not seeing it.
I think I agree. You get basically +1 enhancement over alch wraps, and flexible 2dg effect dmg.
You LOSE, lit strike, +2 dex, elemental burst dmg (t3), 4 insight AC, and a friggin Red Slot.
Even adding the planar conflux stuff, these are behind. That's sad.
