In my opinion the only classes that should use a 2 hander are tanking classes who can truly benefit from the extreme increasse in damage, for anyone else it's a waste of a good stat slot
While being able to do more damage is always nice, I was under the impression that a "tank's" primary purpose was the ability to take damage, and secondary to deal it. If this is true, wouldnt the use of a shield effectively increase your armor rating allowing you to take more damage? I ran this by a few tanks I know from various other games and it seems a general missconception that tanks need to deal damage. Anyways, my opinion on the subject is this...use whichever equipment you "like" the best. It's a game, have fun. Just my 2cp, good hunting to all!
