Some Warrior questions

[Tal]

Dual wielding provides effective rage generation, but inferior damage output.  Use it for kicks when you're bored, but otherwise leave dualling for rogues and hunters.

It is interesting that you would say this the day after a fellow warrior tried to "educate" me that I was doing it "all wrong" by going dual wield. His contention was that two hander was the ONLY way to go for the soloing warrior.

Now the background for this. The educated warrior charged his mob before I charged mine. He using a two handed axe, me using two swords - knightly longswords iirc. I finished my mob first, bandaged and attacked my second before he finished his. He had to bandage and had attacked his next just as I was reaching halfway on my mob. I pointed this out to the warrior who still maintained that 2 hander was far superior in DPS to dual wield.

So we ran a test. He killed 17 mobs in the time it took me to kill 30. We were both the same level fighting the same centaurs in the same 35ish range. He also used 3 more bandages than I did and ate 3 more "meals" of food than I did. Neither had to use a potion of any sort.

I'd thought about doing some more tests to see if dual wield was that inferior to using a 2 hander until I realized that the game was about having fun. I was still killing quickly and efficiently and was able to use many of my skills since the rage generation was so smooth. Fun is where you find it. :)
