Weapon Normalization

[PapaSmurf]

The only reason I can think of to use a big slow 2-handed weapon is when using abilities that have cooldowns. Since those are never your primary attacks, it doesn't seem worthwhile to prioritize those.

What about Arcane Power efficiency for a Wizard? The skill costs the same per cast whether you're using a fast weapon or a slow high damage weapon. So, why not use as big and slow of a weapon as possible to improve the damage/AP ratio?

Conversely, many of the signature spells have runes that regenerate arcane power per hit. So while you get worse arcance power effeciency for the spell that require arcane power, you will regenerate arcane power more quickly with a faster attacking weapon. I think the beauty of the implementation is that both slow and fast weapons are viable based on skill combinations and play style preference.
