1h sword = More DPM 2h sword = More damage

1h The only time a 2h would be better is when the 2h is 20% better than the 1h for every speed difference. EX: 1h speed 4 - 100 atk 2h speed 6 - 141 atk 2h is better EX: 1h speed 4 - 100 atk 2h speed 7 - 159 atk 1h is better BTW, these are in terms of DPM.

This has already been covered in the "Recommended Warrior Equips" guide. And no, it's 15% more attack, not 20%, needed with a 1H sword to match up with a given 2H's DPH. Speed differences and their multipliers are given in a chart linked from said guide for DPS calculations.

1h swords do not do more dpm lol. 2h swords are good because of their range and their superior damage formula

[quote] kay41 : 1h swords do not do more dpm lol. 2h swords are good because of their range and their superior damage formula [/quote] Actually, 1-h has the potential for far superior dpm. With an attack sheild and attack speed advantage, 1-h dishes out serious damage in a set period of time. Per hit, 2-h will deal more but in say a minute, 1-h + atk shield will deal more total damage. A decent attack shield is a MUST if you are going to keep up or deal more damage than a 2-h user though. I dont know the exact calculations but if i remember correctly, assuming same weapon attacks, you need a 14 atk shield to deal the same dpm as a 2-h user. Dont quote me on that though.

I said formula, not taking in consideration funded equipment. OP asked for more damage "clean". I obviously realize that an atk shield and a well scrolled fast 1h may potentially outdamage a well scrolled 2h.
