this is exactly the point he makes, that namely, two-handed weapon fighting is always inferior to two handed weapons, there for, there is no real reason to do two-handed weapon fighting. Thus the topic. keeping in mind we have not even tackled the other impacts like having the ability to cast rally, or self heal.
Eh, my point was more that the difference between 2H and DW is not that large.

See @dwig's post for all the versatility and additional damage buffs you can apply to DW, and the fact that DW is incredible useful for rogues due to doubled chance to get Sneak Attack off.

DW'ing is niche, better for certain builds/playstyles and worse for others, and not that much worse than 2H'ing in terms of raw damage. Seems fine to me.


no, but as long as 2hnd always beats dw, no one will want to run dw.
