[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 4254216, member: 40810"] 1. I really hope the fighter has some nifty 2handed only powers I don't know about 2. The 2handed fighter benefits I know of (including this cute tiny reaping strike bonus) are not worth the effort 3. Even so that would make if fine for fighters, but what about warlord, "retri palas" and melee clerics? While this is fine for basic and other 1[W] attacks, the static +1 is no longer equal once your powers start dealin 2[W] and more damage. If the competition would only be between longsword and greatsword it would be OK. The longsword would offer the +2 AC/Ref from a shield while the greatsword would add nice damage on all powers with multiple [W] damage. IMO it would even be ok if a 1handed BS+Shield deals the same damage as a 2handed greatsword IF there also were superior 2handed weapon to upgrade the 2handed style like the BS upgrades the sword&board style. Yet as I have been told there is no such 2handed superior weapon. Well I guess we have to wait and see if it's truly significant. Just from reading it on message boards, the +1 extra damage compared to the 1handed weapon with power attack doesn't sound as if it's worth the -2 AC/Ref I think I will play my melee cleric of Kelemvor wielding his bastardsword 2handed anyway, no matter how much it's the inferior choice compared to wield it 1handed and grap a shield. Would just have been nice to have a build that is not inherently flawed :) [/QUOTE]
