Although I agree that Two-Handed Warrior is strong and there should be some adjustments. This would be way too punishing.


Well, 2h auto attack does cost +1 AP compared to 1h auto (and is relatively balanced, with best 2h weapons doing over 2x damage of one hand weapons).

So +1 AP on skills would be only natural. In fact, if 2h weapons do 2x of 1h damage then 2 AP skills would still do 33% more damage per AP and 3 AP skills would do 66% more damage. This reduces utility of the 2h however, since 1h can use more skills and do more CC/movement.

Alternatively, reduce the 2h and dualwield auto attack to 1 AP (just as 1h), but make them only do maybe 30% more damage than 1h (straight up nerfing 2h damage and reducing offhand damage for dw). Dealing 30% more damage with auto attack/skills would be a fair trade for a shield. Dealing 100-150% more damage with all skills at same AP cost is certainly not.
