I don't know, they removed ton po's, nerfed moss covered twig into irrelevance and even the RFS became the IFS and so on, somebody dropped the ball somewhat bit yeah, I guess the general idea still remains.
But like jimjam said, lack of chain/plate and weight restriction pretty much relegated them to shit gear during most of kunark. Now you'd think shit gear was a drawback but in the end being non gear dependent is a boon more than anything else... Then velious came and flipped the script on its head, pretty much removing the "drawback".
On another note I just wanted to thank OP for sharing his findings. Everyone says 2handers are leagues away from 1handers but from my napkin math it was pretty close and wondering if I was crazy. The parses show 2h still do better for his content but it is probably much closer when you compare an IFS vs AC/Epic + SOS. I'm partial to 2handers but people going 1handers aren't at a big disadvantage.
Some of you might think getting BIS stuff is easy to get but for a whole bunch of us it is pretty much unattainable so those parses are very interesting. Say what you will but finding 2k-7k will always remain far easier.

Just because someone doesn’t have BiS doesn’t mean they shouldn’t objectively pick the best option available to them.
I can’t remember the last time I was impressed by a monk and an epic/sos. A Peacebringer on the other hand has surprised me. That’s a 500p weapon every monk can and should at least own past level 30. The parsing at 60 on challenging stuff just has these 2h’s running further ahead unless you have at minimum priceless fists.
Unlike real life, there is far less subjective truth in EQ. It’s just a big calculator with a fantasy theme. Like Crede said, people are overthinking this. Or worse, they know the right answer but are trying to justify the worse one to be quirky (only to get out-dpsed by mage water pets).
