Is There A Good Two Handed DPS Build?

I really want to go with a Two Handed Sword. Is there Build with one that will do the same DPS as say Two Weapon, or Bow? Also what Class, Armor, and Stat Point spread should I use?

Right now I've been using Templar in Heavy Armor. I've been putting my points into mostly Stam, and Magic. My skills are

My rotation is

Critical Rush
Solar Barragh
Bitting Jabs
Wrecking Blow
Repeat.....

With Restoring Aura to help regen

It seems to do well, but I hear about people taking on world bosses by themselves, and it makes me rethink how well I'm doing.

Anyway thinks ahead of time for any help! :)

    Though I've had a hell of a time bouncing around between weapon choices, I do very well as a nightblade using a 2hander. Use medium armor rather than heavy - heavy armor will not help your damage output at all, medium will give you a vast amount of crit chance and stamina regen though, which will greatly improve damage.

    Nightblade skills seem to mesh pretty well with 2handers as well.

    Thanks!

    By the way there is a passive in Heavy Armor that does help with DPS, I'm just not sure how much. Its called Juggernaut, and gives you extra power. With that said I'm now trying out 5 pieces of Med.

    I doubt Juggernaut is worth the skill points early on in the game because it's only .5% per skill point. Later in the game when you have skill points to spare I could see it becoming more valuable though. Until you find yourself with an abundance of skill points to distribute though, I think there are better ways to increase dps with those 1-3 skill points you could use in Juggernaut. Just my opinion though. :)

    I use this one slightly altered to my tastes and it is BEAST
