Is 2hb actually worth skilling as warrior?

Perhaps the Truncheon procs faster or is it just based on DEX?

Nope, same RNG dice toss as a Swarmcaller. Main difference being that a warrior with a slow proc weapon is more ideal.

Even if you keep the ToD/Swarmcaller equipped for the first few swings there is a chance of a proc to trivialize the fight. With a duo healing or dps'ing you can wait longer before you switch out for another weapon since your personal dps is less important than the efficiency of the grind.

Fixed that for you. Weapons fire at a fixed rated depending on your dexterity. Whether you hit/miss/double/single attack is irrelevant.

Aren't some weapons more likely to proc per swing based on slow delay? e.g.: An Earthshaker at 70 delay is almost twice as likely to proc as a ToD at 44?

I completely agree with the rest. Just curious if in theory you slowed yourself if the OT hammer would have a more likely chance to proc per swing.

Yes this is correct

You're more likely to get it on the first swing sure, but it doesn't change the proc rate over time.

They are normalized for proc per minute. So the faster you swing the lower your proc chance is but the more chances you get to proc and vice versa. On shaman e.g. you can slow yourself to avoid killing half a newby zone because of bad luck with rng.

Except I wasn't talking about low skill and how it relates to proc rate, because low skill has nothing to do with proc rate. Your "fix" for my post makes no sense.

Ah shit, you're right. I totally read your post wrong.

I was looking through the wiki at 2hb weapons for warriors and it doesn't really seem like there are a ton of good options. Staff of battle was way up there, but even that isn't as good as duel wield or 2hs weapons after level 40. Am I missing something here? Is it just a nice thing to do or is there a practical reason I'd want to spend the time leveling this?

Listen to all these people they're smarter than a Halfling. On the other hand the first time I played with a level 20 Ranger using that stupid staff that was better than any 2HB a warrior will ever get on P99 I sold my Staff of Battle and never looked back.
