The benefits simply don't outweigh the negatives. You get no bonus damage wielding a 2H weapon, unless it's versatile, and the loss of +2 AC/Reflex is too big to ignore.In 3.5, you got 1.5x your strength modifier damage when wielding a weapon 2H, in 4e you get nothing, and in fact you're better off with a versatile weapon and being a 1H weapon fighter (the bonus to hit) and only using 2H on the rare occasion that damage is more important than defence for a defender.This 2WF variant, however, compensates by either increasing the AC, or increasing the damage (with lighter armour). There is decent compensation for not using a shield. 2H fighters get no such benefit.</blockquote>
