I have seen a 2h hit a shield, the 1h attack only to be one shotted in mid swing because the 2 hander is that fast. Personally I would have thought that the one handed weapon would out pace and 2h by default if only on the laws of physics.
There doesnt seem to be a trade off with this weapon class insofar as they get horrendous damage, weapon range and shield smegging special powers at the expence of speed. It seems a dedicated 2 hander gets all of the snacky super powers and can swing like they're on combat drugs.
Its just seems to be getting a bit cheesy is all.
I've never been able to out swing a shielder continually who knows what he's doing.
On the times I do manage to attack twice before he can attack once, it is because of luck on my side or incompetence from the other player.
I also agree with what the first replier said, about how two handed weapon should have an offensive advantage considering all the hazards that come with it.
