    Yep, best weapon in the game. All of the skills are unique and offer a ton of utility as well as the highest damage in the game.

    Whenever I put together a 2h bar, I have trouble not including all 5 2h skills to the point that I'm forced to go 2h/2h so I can put Brawler/Rally on the off bar / aoe bar.

    2h is sickly weak early on in the game and anyone who puts 5/5 2h on their bar might need to rethink their approach to the game.

    I got a guildie who crit ~41k single target with wrecking blow. nope not OP lol I guess this is what "letting the game breathe" means. Maybe he meant the last breath right before you're wrecked.

    I was worried about this pre 1.6, but now that ive had a chance to encounter 2h builds in cyrodiil, im not worried anymore, im a sorc and I dont have trouble against 2h so far. Sure, they are strong, very strong, but not impossible at all.

    @zeuseason
    Interesting you can make that comment without knowing what class or content I was talking about. As a stamina Sorc I want a charge, I want wrecking blow ofc, brawler is amazing in aoe situations, rally is a must have weapon buff + heal, and the execute is very useful in many different forms of content. What skill would you suggest I replace as a Sorc?

    DW is more better weapon. Bow is second.

    Edit: wrecking blow vs fragment: fragment won. i dont even use wrecking blow, i get stunned. no, my 2h bar has rally because only heal. critical rush because closing and bugs cloak LMAO... there are lot more magic based attack, what does lot more dmg and better than WB. Dont spread crap.
    Dont misunderstand me, remove WB from game, it changes nothing for me. just dont lie about what is the best skill in game.

    Lol the comparison seriously is good, why not be able to win against anyhting?
    Every weapon should have chances in combination with some good class tools.

    I aggre its really weak early in the game, but starts to get stronger at lvl 20+, still as far as 2h passives goes i feel only heavy weapons and (the 2nd passive from the 2h skill.. forgot name...) are worth it to put points into
    If I die tomorrow I do not want to think of the game I could of played today, therefor I will play whatever I want today while securing a future to play in as well.

    A true gamer will think of all the possible outcomes and execute the one that is the hardest to accomplish.

    Prebuffing yourself with Rally and Chaining Wrecking Blow is the best rotation if you intend to play a stamina 2-handed builld. But the issue a lot of people are not talking about is the stamina manadgement of that rotation. Wrecking Blow has a very big stamina cost and maintaining it in prolongiated fights is something realy hard to do if you don't have any Templars supporting the team with Spear Shards.

    So yeah Wrecking Blow does massive upfront damage while sneaking, and it got ok DpS but it's far from the best ressource efficient way to deal damage and it makes you very vulnerable in fights since you can't use it while blocking.

    Try backing a claim with some justification. I have a Dk he's fun to play with but makes the game easier.

    Perhaps you're cross as the 2H puts out enough damage to counter mitagtion and healing?

    @jelliedsoup Sry If i don't feed the trolls but with as many posts you have on these forums you should know how to play the game by now. This game isn't that hard. To beat any class in pvp or be strong in pve all you need to do is play to your class strengths and not attempt to play like other classes. If you are not a dk don't attempt to play like a dk. its as easy as that!

    No Two handers are not OP..

    With melee you put yourself at risk. I believe that its fair for it to do the most damage ..

    Now some these damage bugs need to go I agree....

    Two hander is definitely op and every one knows it. DK is not OP. Almost more than 90 percent population in cyrodil is two hander except night blades. Unless you are a two hander can no way to win a two hander unless big skill differecne. I always see noobs with 2 handers with lvl 30 -40 call champion level for duel not using two hander or magicka builds for duel near undaunted guilds . Noobs themselves know if they call NB or 2H hander they will get wrecked. When 1 noob stalked my socrere I go back and bring back my stamina NB 2H and wrecked him to hell and his mouth.
    There should be no way in game a lvl 30-40 person can beat champion level, unless there is big skill difference. Two hander is loop lopsidedly overpowered especially in PVP.
    Noobs always look for more cheese and nothing can be done. Only treatment is use two hander & NB ourselves and make them whine.
