I think because 2h and duel wield both get additional perks based on what kind of weapon you use (dagger, axe, etc) and additional weapon line boosts make the SnB line need the boosts to stay competitive.
In PvE tanks usually are expected to have dps, this line helps PvE far more than PvP,
But wait till 1T, we'll see a lot more SnB

I understand that bashes should do more damage but why should bashing someone with a shield cost less? You know how heavy a shield is? Bashing should be used tactically to interrupt channels not for more dps.
The extra damage on heavy and s+b should be removed in my opinion. Your offence comes from your durability and mitigation.
Let's be real though, next patch there is a couple new sets that give over 4k+ penetration for a 5 piece set. Then on-top of that there is a new monster set that gives you penetration for a 1 piece. GG heavy user's, your time has come!

My thoughts exactly. Hard counter to HA will be stacking pen. I can smell the rubedite melting now...
the counter to heavy armour is pene. My biggest weakness these past couple days has been stamblades because SA is so strong and provides that armour pene. In terms of perma block, its extremely hard to achieve that while dishing out good dmg. Most HA users these days need to stay offensive to get resources so most dont perma block.
if you do meet a perma blocker just remember that every attack you do is 800-1k stamina they lose

Yet they never seem to run out of stamina...
Pen doesn't work on shields. Most heavy armor users wear a shield. Those that don't, have a class shield, unless your a nb.
Penetration is overrated. Pen won't help you against shield stackers, instant healers, hurricane instant gib stam sorcs, or dodge rolling shuffle stackers. O wait, that's 98% of the players in cyrodil...
