I've got my ranger into the mid-30s now on green and I'm thinking more about what I should aim for with weapons going forward.
I'm currently using Gigantic Zweihander (https://wiki.project1999.com/Gigantic_Zweihander) for my 2H.
For 1H, I have a pair of Ebony Bladed Sword (https://wiki.project1999.com/Ebony_Bladed_Sword) with the plan of questing an Orc Impaler (https://wiki.project1999.com/Orc_Impaler) in the near future.
If the wiki is correct, it looks like zweihander is the best ratio ranger usable 2h prior to planar drops. I know the wiki doesn't have everything, so are there any other 2h available that I'm not aware of that I can upgrade to?
For 1h there are a lot of options.
1hb: Sharkbone Warhammer (8/26) looks like best ratio pre-planar 1hb with a .31 ratio followed by Enameled Black Mace (8/28) at .29.
1hs: Yaks (8/24) and Electrum Bladed Wakazashi (7/21) are both at a .33 ratio and runed falchion (11/34) at .32. (I assume falchion is less desirable due to being mainhand only)
Pierce: pretty meh, with the previously mentioned Orc Impaler as the best non-dragon piercer at .30.
I think the majority of these weapons are pretty well known. Is there anything that I'm overlooking, or should I just aim for the best ratio among the weapons listed above?
Also, around what level do you all feel that dual wielding finally outperforms 2h? The last level or two I've been swapping between 2h and 1h and the kill time feels about the same. I realize the answer depends on which weapons are used, but any general wisdom here would be helpful.
