Now that the dual wield enchantments were nerfed, how will we make 2her better for PVE?
So basically there were a number of reasons people go dual wield over 2h but slowly they have been removing them and now there is an actual advantage in that 2h weapons have more powerful enchantments.
But the big issue remains.... there are no 2h Daggers for the crit bonus. Now a lot of people have suggested that we be given Spears or something but they don't really work with the current animations so I suggest just adding a crit passive to one of the 2h abilities so that you get that crit bonus regardless of what weapon you are using.
The skill I'd suggest is Carve or brawler, since it is the ability closest in functionality to twin strikes (higher upfront but weaker dot). The other ability that is popular for 2h is Wreaking blow but its super clunky and I am not quite sure why it is popular since it is more akin to snipe that any of the dual abilities but there is also the option to give that a crit strike change bonus over the empower bonus that is hard to use.
Thoughts on giving all 2h weapons a passive crit bonus to make up for the lack of daggers?
