Duel wield or Two-handers? - Page 2

[:1]^^ I'm just the opposite. I like jumping in there with melee dudes.|||Twho-Handers, just feels more barbaric. I liked the two handed fiery mace from 2008 barbarian game play video|||Dual Wield here .... Slicing throught monsters with 2 big Axes thats what i prefer : )|||Probably going to go with a 2hander, but I gotta look at the final skill tree to see which I think will support them better.|||Both, of multiple varieties.

Dual wield axes, dual wield swords, two-handed sword, two-handed axe, spear and shield, sword and shield, axe and shield.

I love the multitude of different builds Diablo style games provide.|||You guys seem to be forgetting that this game, like d2 will most likely work some type of range system..

One could assume various weapons have different ranges and that a big 2 handed sword has a much large range than 2 normal sized swords or axes..

Therefor a WW like build would prefer a 2 hander to go with a clipping style of play similar to ww barbs in d2..|||Dual wield.|||My Barb wil dual wield crossbows and wirlwind with them! |||Quote:

I'm pretty sure that it was been said that Barbarians can still wield a 2H sword in one hand, so dual 2H swords would probably give the same range bonus as a single 2H sword (but with damage penalties).

That said, I would imagine that the D3 team will probably push for diversity and give some 2H weapons that CANNOT be held in a single hand some range bonuses (spears and large hammers come to mind).|||2H FTW! It doesn't matter what it is, a club, axe or sword - it has to be a big piece of iron! Fighting with kitchen knives is good for chinese cooks, not barbs
