DW heavy attack?

Why does the dual wield heavy attack do so much less damage than the 2h heavy attack? With resto staff you get back mana, but what about DW is there something I am not seeing going on there?

DW should do less damage than a heavy 2H. 2H are meant to be slower but heavier, DW faster but lighter.

Ya but heavy attack takes the same amount of time it seems, but does less than half the damage. I was doing 22 with DW and 60 with 2h on sneak attacks. Seems really imba to me.

When I was doing 2h heavy attacks it seemed like a long build up. But I cannot compare it with DW. Thing is I think DW is meant to be played light and fast, and 2h slow and heavy.

Noticed I had trouble killing a mob when I was using light attacks I came back and used heavy mixed with light and blocks, and killed it easily.

Any time that you hold the mouse button down for more than just a press its considered a heavy attack. If the attack isn't held for the full duration it will not do the full amount of damage. I catch myself all the time accidentally doing a heavy attack that is barely more damage than a light attack because my fat finger won't get off the mouse button

hahahaha...

Is there an option to change the speed, I know there is for the dodge. You can adjust the delay, default is something like 1.88s. Maybe the same can be done for Light/heavy attacks.
