But I'm not sure, it is just a gut feeling. It could be remnants of other systems is haunting me though.The systems I used to play had twohanders close to doing twice the damage of one handed weapons, but had fewer attack oppertuneties.However it had the same:ish flaw where dualwielding came out on top, twohanders where okay and shield users where laughed at.No balance at all. Please do, I wouldnt even be sure how to. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Yes I have a basic understanding of averages.But using them sort of masks a "immediate gratification" feeling, and you have to be good at seeing the big picture of things...Alas I'm not <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />wich as mentioned might be cause for my gut feelings here I will at some point, as soon as I have the time.I'm considering pitting two identical (except for weapons) fighters against eachother, all melee basic attacks, no powers or feats accounted for. Just to see who wins the most out of X numbers of mock fights.Would this be a good way of doing a test ?</blockquote>
