Why do most monks use dual weild and not 2hb?

[Lemonhead]

peacebringer and IFS beat dual sos and sos/ac to about level 45, then the duals start winnning. But you still have the ripsoste benifits from the 2 handers and not worrying about damage shields.

Also, if you are tanking in the early levels, 2 handers are better initial agro for those really fast fights (because agro counts even if you miss). And you even can take a single swing at multiple mobs and grab some decent agro to keep em off healers.

This is a definitive DPS calculator (not including procs) until the 2hander revamp.

Oh and you can joust better with 2handers, especially with IFS (the superior weapon). This is really great for duoing with a pet class. It takes a little practice, but you can jump in between mob swings and peg mobs without getting hit. Or if you have root nets, you can joust your way to otherwise impossible solo wins.
