Hello all,
once again the DW/2H topic but regarding weapons...
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that the two specs are identical to damage (with same ilvl weapons of course) output no matter the number of mobs or burst or whatever. Let's say the the only thing that separates the two specs is the mechanics; ie DW hits with 2 weapons at the same time. Now, we are about to hit the Sha of Fear who drops the sha touched weapons. I have now 2x489 axes from Elegon. The real question now is...
in order for DW to be equal, one should have 2xsame ilvl weapons with 2H one? That is to say, should I pick the 2H, gem it with the legendary gem, feel happy and go on, or should I pick the 1H, slap the gem, have a lesser (ilvl wise) weapon on the off-hand? It is not a matter of DW vs 2H here. It is a matter of mechanics and whether 1hx496+1hx478 < 2hx496.
--------------------------
Off topic a bit, I am inclined to take the 2H for other reasons. Among these are the flexibility to switch to unholy if I ever want it to, PvP with 2H (although DW might be viable as well) and of course be in peace, since my most important slot is covered till the heroic version.
