Here is a question to all the hunters do you all use two handed sword or axes or do you duel with two 2 handed swords or axes or daggers and which one is better?

you are asking the hunter class if they use 2h weapon or dual 1h weapon right?

I'm just going to guess that and explain...

dualing two 1 handed weapon means you will hit more... but miss 24% on both the main and off hand. and the off hand does 50% dps dmg.

dual use to most hunters are stats. I mean I can get 2 weapon with very nice + 12 agi (add up to 24 agi, from 2 weapon)

but in a melee fight. dual seem usless to the hunter.

I can see some war using dual to get more hate but for the hunter who has no benafic from hiting the mob...

anyway if you are pvp don't use dual... your wing clip will miss!

2h weapon are the best in pvp but as a hunter you souldn't realy melee anyway...

unless it's against -10 level below you...

For pve I would say , go with what you find / buy / create / etc. Dmgwise going dual wield or using a 2hander it's usually the same (same level weapons ofcourse). Statwise it's usually the same aswell. So unless you're fixated on either of these 2 , just go with whatever you want.

I myself rather want to dual wieldbecause , 1) It looks better IMHO :D and 2) I like to hit faster. But should I find a 2hander with quite some more dmg (and around same stats as the 2 1handers) then I would switch to that.

Ofcourse you're hardly ever in melee mode (unless you're making a melee hunter:D) , but if you do , you should get the best melee dmg you can get IMHO.

For pvp people tend to go for 2handers , mainly because of the 24% chance to hit less (wingclip missing can be a real pain in the ***).

2handers actually hit more often than one handers, and it really counts when you're fighting mobs several levels above you. One handers may give you some stats, but the miss rate and low damage just isn't worth it.

With 2 weapons you do hit more then with a 2hander. Sure you get the 24% chance to miss , but if you have 2 weapons with 1.80 speed , or a 2hander with 3.60 speed , you'll see that you will hit more often with the 2 weapons. Statisticly speaking ofcourse.

If you could attack 1 oponent for 72 seconds you would hit your oponent 80 times with 2 * 1hand weapons (penalty not yet calculated). With the 2hander it's 20 times.

80 - (80 / 100 * 24) = 60.8 times you hit with 2 * 1handers.
20 - (20 / 100 * 5) = 19 times you hit with your 2hander.

Even if you had 2 1handers with a speed of 2.00 , and a 2hander with a speed of 2.00 , the 2 weapons would hit more often.

Also , dmgwise 1handers ofcourse aren't on par with 2handers. But 2 1handers are on par with a 2hander. Ofcourse weapons with around same level reqs.
