Do they have a higher chance to miss or something? If not then what is unreliable about them? If you have a ~20% chance to miss with your 2h you'll miss ~20% of your 1h'er attacks, given equivalent ratios, 2h should win by default then since dual-wielding only occurs ~70% of the time, no?
2her has a larger damage variance, so dps is less consistent from fight to fight. in the end it averages out over time in normal xp groups, but you will see wide swings from mob to mob on short fights. also 2h do poorly on high AC mobs liek in velious because so many hits land at or near minimum dmg ^^


this is the current situation. The upcoming 2h bonus increase and monk triple atk will alter that.
