Level 40-50 Fabled Two-Handers?

[Arrpeege]

<DIV>Well I have a couple questions actually.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1)  2-handers are better than equivalent dual-wield when soloing?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2)  A few people have told me to go with higher delay 2-hander when soloing vs. lower delay so that it works better with combat skills.  I'm not sure I understand why...   Also, when I solo green heroic types or group greens and blues, I often dont use many skills as I let then run out of power (outlast it with armor/hp) and melee them almost while afk.  In that case, wouldn't a 2.0 speed 2-hander be better?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also, are there any specific level 40-50 2-handed fabled (i.e. 55.1 damage) weapons I should be on the lookout for?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<P>Get a PGT or Screaming Mace for the power regen procs and go nuts.  The extra power more than makes up for any lose in base damage/delay.</P> <P>If you can't get something that gives power back go for 2H.  Slower delay means you will lose less attacks while casting your combat arts.</P>

Screaming Mace is the way to go ( post combat changes that PGT will be grey hence the proc wont go off nearly as much as it does now ) <div></div>

<font color="#ff9900" face="Verdana" size="2">Royal Great Flail is a fabled drop off King Zalak. 3.8 delay, blunt 2-hander. Big +s on it. I forget the damage rating, but the range is up to 350ish damage on a swing with up to a 350ish proc. If I stack my STR (such as on raids) my regular hits have done over 500ish with this weapon. I tend to use it when soloing or when not tanking in a raid (heck, I use it in groups and don't lose agro) and will often use my haste buff. Sometimes I don't bother with the haste buff and it still works out fine for me (mostly ebon armor). Make sure you get extra mobs in the front so they can eat riposte and possibly face the proc. AE attacks </font><font color="#ff9900" face="Verdana" size="2">(Taunting Assault and Tremor - though you could likely be more mana efficient by using a lower power AE)</font><font color="#ff9900" face="Verdana" size="2"> are also nice for getting the proc on multiple foes. </font><div></div>

<P><FONT color=#ffff00>If I may ask a question which is not directly on the topic:</FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#ffff00></FONT> </P> <P><FONT color=#ffff00>Why is it better to fight with 1 2handed weapon then "dual wield" ? ... I usually wield the SSOY and the Serrated Bone Dirk if I solo or duo with my wife (Templar) and only use the SM on raids.</FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#ffff00>It seems to be very nice dmg for a Guardian, so I always hesitating to give up that compination for a 2hander</FONT></P> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00>Can anyone clear this up for me? plz?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00>Thx in advise  :smileyhappy:</FONT></DIV>

You want 2H in end game.. big slow 2 hander.. more haste before you hit haste cap. Also easier to time attacks in between swings of the weapon = will miss less attacks with the slow 2 hander. <div></div>

<P>i'm a power (self-explitive)...  i have a 55.1 fabled 2H, but once i got my SM it was 1H and shield for me again...</P> <P>only time i duel wield is against the monk type mobs...  i want fast weapons then just cause they avoid alot of hits...</P> <P>as it is now most mobs do less damage than i do to myself with the manastone (soloing)...  also the SM seems to proc more than the PGT for me...</P> <P>but if you are gonna duel wield PGT is about the best there is...  i'll take the ward and power anyday over the SBD or SSoY...  rememeber cedar is usually cheap too, get an imbued club (i see em for like 50g on broker on my server) from your local woodworker it has better stats than SSoY if i rememebr correctly</P> <DIV>Wabit</DIV>
