Can one-handed/shield user with the Anaconda talent ever compete with the immense damage of a two-handed warrior?
One-handed Pros & Cons
Pros:
+ Able to utilize a shield and reach very high % to block physical attacks
+ Stat bonuses available on shields can provide more flexibility for your character's build
+ Less AP required for standard attacks
+ Can attain 10% damage bonus from Anaconda talent (assuming you're using a crushing weapon)
Cons:
- Two-handed weapons do immense damage compared to one-handed weapons, especially late-game
- More skill points need to be dumped into Shield Specialist to make effective use of shields.
- AP requirements for Skills remain the same regardless of weapon type (i.e. Whirlwind costs the same amount of AP whether you're using a one-handed or two handed weapon
Which do you think is better and why? ^^
