I haven't done any parses, but I'm guessing without spending obscene amounts of plat (or raid drops), you're not going to beat it with any duel wield options from level 20 onward.

Reaver is the first serious upgrade but only hits non-magical mobs. Nardani's is also a great upgrade but is 55+.
For sure [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Warriors are used to carrying around tons of gear. I think my little twink has like 12 weapons on him right now. For pure dps or duo/trio work with a sham the Staff of Battle/Reaver/Narandi combo is very hard to beat. Sure your dual-wield skill goes up in the high levels and quads are fun but ripostes on geos and similar mobs are painful. If you can control aggro a slow 2h is the way to go. Plus, the crips for 380+ get announced to anyone nearby [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Another nice perk of a SoB is its a great way to keep 2hb maxed. Never know when you are gonna pick up a Truncheon of Doom or a raid 2hb.
