✭✭Much more viable now that a 2h weapon counts for 2 set pieces.Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.1 -

✭People seem to like it for its burst potential with heavy attacks opening into some of the slow heavy hitters from the skill line in PVP. Dual Wield is still the go to choice for PVE but I dont know if anyone has done any work calculating the performance delta or seeing if there is actually a viable top dps build using 2h.EU: Magden, Magknight, Stamsorc(*2), Magsorc

TheStealthDude✭✭✭✭2H is certainly viable for PvE now, especially since there is now an instant cast stam spammable available for all classes.0 -

Going into the more PvP side of 2h. Compared to 2 years ago 2H gotten alot worse mainly because of the overshadowing of Dual Wield. 2H for Stamina characters is mainly used for Foward Momentum/Rally or Wrecking Blow into Ult combo. While 2H for Magicka characters is only for Foward Momentum.Edited by Gorrest on January 6, 2019 10:18PM-PvP Characters-

Khivas_Carrick✭✭✭✭✭I use a 2H PvE build on a Stamplar.
The META 2H pve build is apparently 3k dps behind the top DW builds (or so I've heard), which if true isn't that far behind, thus making it plenty viable for literally everything in the game.
For me it works just fine as I do mostly 4man content and more often than not, I'm at 30k dps avg with 38k being my peak and 17k my lowest on a high mobility fight and a 6wk old puppy in my lap spazzing right the hell out.
I think 2H is viable.
Could just be my biased opinion though.
Who knows.Bobbity Boop, this game might become poop, but I'll still play because I'm just a pile of goop!1 -

✭✭✭✭2h is viable but obviously not optimal, mainly due to the extra enchantment of dual wield.1 -

DragonBound✭✭✭✭✭They buffed it how long ago and its still not up to par with dual wield? Why? That does not even make sense why is it so hard to even buff 2h to dual wield?1
