They already touched it, fixing the sharpshooting not resetting properly. I don't think they would touch it much more. | ||

I have to say I've been most impressed with Jougo's Fire/Weapon Throw Barb with IK set. He does a considerable amount of damage with an uncommon skill and those Ancients can tank a ton in rifts. | ||

Pretty much the only barb build left is fire barbs. Even throwing barbs stack fire. You cant go wrong with maximus fire barb with all the extra goodies. | ||

I was under the impression 2H were autosoul as the loss of the offhand socket hurts it too much. | ||

I was under the impression 2H were autosoul as the loss of the offhand socket hurts it too much. Maximus is the only 2hander being used right now, because of how your stacking of fire damage affects the firechain that is between your demon and you, making that firechain extremely potent damage wise. Other than that, no other 2handers are worth it that i know of. | ||

Also people think that 2 handed weapons are bad cuz you miss out on the second socket. I think that is misleading. I did some calculations on my monk and the raw dps was pretty similar while dual wielding and using a 2h because although you might have 400% crit dmg instead of 530% or so 2h weapons roll with higher dmg so it gets equalized. The only reason 1h weapons seem so much better ATM is they have much better passive procs than most 2h weapons. Procs on TF and SoH add a ton to your dps, and you can have two of them while dual-wielding. edit: ofc i might be missing something rly obvious here | ||

The sheet dps was rly close. Could be possible if you're comparing like a 2.8-3k dps 2h vs. 2x 2-2.1k weapons. I'm not sure what you mean when you say you factored in the AS though. You equip one, check the sheet dps, and equip others, check sheet dps, and barring procs, you get the comparison. Now there are other factors such as swing time(slow is better for 2h, 1h is build dependant) that can make up for a dps loss on a 2h, but generally speaking, it takes an absolutely insane 2h to make up for 2 good 1h. | ||
