I siggest getting a 1h as ur main with a shield, and a 2h for backup in case ur 1h gets fragged wille enhancing (ive lost 18s worth of rumen 1h)

Uhm, Your 0.4 seconds dont add up when you calculate your damage over a period of time. Its been proven over and over, that in a given period of time an axe or two handed user deals more damage overall.

If you compare a 1-handed level 50 sword to a level 50 axe you need at least 4 shots to meet the damage of an axe. That is overall 4.4 seconds... whereas the axe user can deal the damage of your 4.4 seconds again and again in 1.5 seconds. By his 4.5 mark his damage already exceeds yours by a large margin.

The only advantage to a 1-hander is you can survive ruthless attacks from the Minidragon, black incubus, Legendary tree (with a cleric)...
