Thanks Tec, let us know your results. Sidebar, but it might be good to point out that seems to be mainly true for SKs. Rod of Faith is 32 delay compared to GFG's 36. Not much of a difference there. And Pallies don't have offensive spells that make sense to use in between swings when soloing non-undead mobs.

Delete the "non-undead" there for accuracy. Anti-undead nukes are slow-casting, not useful except to do damage on the pull, to do damage re-engaging after rooting to back off and heal while solo (assuming 45+ and not emptying your manabar to heal), or to try for a giggle-worthy killshot vs. undead mob in Fear or Hate. Paladin combat advantage fighting undead mobs is actually very nearly zero in this era (excluding a lowbie with a Ghoulbane in Unrest.)
On-Topic:
2handers get slightly better damage bonus than 1handers at this time, but not really enough to compensate fully for slower swing compared to all but the slowest 1handers. They can feel inferior due to long delay, but better ratio wins. Baton of Faith (2hb 30/40) clearly out-performed Sword of the Morning (1hs 16/27) plus Clay Guardian Shield (ac25) for me solo in late 40s. I could not kill low blues (or sometimes even light blues) reliably solo with SotM+CGS, but could with BoF.
