2 hander vs. dual wield

llicah · 02-17-2010, 06:40 PM

im just gunna say a 100% AoE 2 hander sounds pretty sweet

Xalmat · 02-17-2010, 07:19 PM

If you can find one that has better DPS than a one-hander!

I would love to see better two handers tossed in there, but to be fair, we have had the opportunity to have a 100% AE two hander with temps since DOF, and I doubt anyone has done that since the buckler line first showed up in KoS. Unless they didn't understand the AA's or just liked it for flavor.

It would have to be an amazing 2-hander to be better for us than dual wielding.

I got Zonns Battlehammer for the first Vigilant zone. Don't remember all the stats other than it has no strength stat (sux) but 138 stamina or something, and tops out in the 800 damage area (6 second wpn). Parsed 33,000 in the Conservatory swinging this mother on a trash mob of about 6. Im doing 5-8k auto attack on single dummy and 11-14k auto on multiple dummies. You need the myth clicky to make it viable as a weapon though, but it hits like a truck.

There's some really killer two handers out there now that look like they would be fun in an all-out AoE fight where defense isn't a big concern.

I love my two-handers! My main wields a greatsword, always has, always will. I am playing a warrior, not an accountant, so save all those parses and points for someone else. I like watching huge chunks of health drop off my target(s). I enjoy those multi-grand hits, and crits really rock!

you can get a 2 hander with about a 150 damage rating for like 20 of the shard things from instances

The x2 thing is teh pwn and its visuals and animations are hot as well. Sad thing being, it hasnt even been discovered on our server due to its amazing drop rate.

Yes the 2h is a very nice upgrade for DPS. As a Crusader it even gives me 30% more DPS than my 1h (with the +base). I can't imagine how killer this thing would be on AE fights with 100% AE auto attack.
