Yeah those are the only ranger usable 2handers in the game at that tier of quality.

Primals? Stellar for the proc and decent if you don't have better to swap to after the proc but they are not at all in the same ratio category.

I'm glad that you agree that tier for tier 2h weapons will out-dps dual wield. We are finally making progress.

The next best weapon is a Primal 2hb, which is 45/44. The ratio difference between Shovel (1.16) and Primal 2hb (1.02) is 0.14, which is a 13% loss in ratio.

And the difference between a primal velium 1hander 13/20 (0.65) compared to Baton of Flame 13/17 (0.76) is a 17.5% along with a 17% reduction in damage bonus (static for 1-handers - this phenomenon is not seen as much with any 2hander as it is delay dependent) dealt.

If you're gonna make comparisons, compare apples to apples. Primal to primal ... engdamge ratio to endgame ratio.

It just so happens that Rangers only have 2 weapons on their list:
-Harvest
-Cek sword

Monks get 4 options:
-Abashi
-VP
-Harvest
-Facesmasher

Warriors get 7 options
-4x 2hs out of ToV with higher tier ratio
-3x 2hb out of ToV with higher tier ratios

Knights get the most (8 options)
-3x 2hbs
-3x 2hs
-2x 2hp
