one handed vs two handed i like one handed

ive been experimenting with one handed vs two handed swords and the dph and dpm of both and ive come to the conclusion that even though weaker the speed of onehanded beats the strength of two handed while there are some fast two handed swords there few and far between and since one handed strike faster your getting more hits in vs fewer so less dmg but more hits equals better dmg overall that and shield provide a nice state or defense bonus

Out of personal expeirence, 1 handed like the guy above said are good from 70~ish onwards. At level 38 it shouldnt really be a main concern, because typically 38~70 is majority pq. However, since you are only 38, and have a 17 str shield, i would highly recommend to merchant a bit to get a weapon attack shield. Nothing godly, a 7~10 atk are about 100~150mil, and do pretty well. Just as some extra information, in order for a clean 1h sword to measure up to a clean 2h sword, in damage range, you would require a umm, i believe 14 or 15+ atk shield. BUt dont worry, thats after level 100. No worries until then. And good luck buddy (Y) =)
