Take a bastard sword and a shield and you deal the same damage as with the best 2H weapon and you have the shield.The main problem is that the bastard sword is not only 2h superior to the greatsword but that it's also 1h equal to the 2h great sword.Bastard sword + shield has exact the same damage than 2h greatsword without shield.The reaping strike benefit is negligible because the point of reaping strike is still to hit your opponent and not to miss. The miss damage is just a consolation which you do not want if you roll your attack roll (it's nice to have if the roll fails, but you truly wanted the roll to hit)Then theres the power attack thing, but it's not much either. The diff. between 1h and 2h is only 1-3 points which are not multiplied with powers. So a 1[W] power has the same 3 point diff than a 6[W] power (also I personally dislike PA, never used it in 3.x, I always wanted my to hit as high as possible)Given all this "every +1 matters in 4e" talk I find it hard to believe that suddenly two +2 don't matter at all.</blockquote>
