Quest Aegis of Life. Then, uh... Classic (meaning no kunark?) Mithril 2hander I suppose.

m2h or razing sword of skarlon really only 2h pre planar worth mentioning.

Mithril 2hander works out to be a 21/30 with the haste figured in, and it works at Level 1. Not bad speed. Cost like 700 plat though. So a damn good weapon till 20ish.

sword and board for caster mobs, swap in a 2hander for melee mobs - baton of faith is good, granite face grinder is better but its tough to justify the cost because its not thaaaaaat much more efficient than the baton.

bash can be the difference between life and death on caster mobs, especially if you're only soloing or duoing. with a ghoulbane and shield you can solo festering hags in unrest once you get your first stun spell, tho duo/trio xp is certainly faster.

Ok, Brilliant Sword of faith. How many people does it take to kill Lucan?

Going off his wiki values he could probably be solo'd by most lvl 60s.

Oh and 2hander. Don't bother.

Feel free to quest your way towards SoulFire -> FA -> FD. But other than that, IMO, don't bother with 2handers. You are far more survivable with sword/board and if you aren't tanking in a group you really aren't bringing much to the group as a 2hs DPS paladin (until they introduce cats on the moon + Slay Undead)

Please ignore this foolish Druid. You MUST have a 2h weapon. I would suggest Baton of Faith or Arbitor's Combine Greatsword. Your dps with a 1h and shield will be shit compared to when you're using two handed weapons. Only use sword and board while tanking and fighting casters. Otherwise your gonna be using 2h weapons almost solely.

enchanters can solo lucan pretty easily I hear

It sounds like I have been overruled!

I just got so annoyed with tanks who would use 2-hander against hard hitting stuff and wonder why they died. Herpderp Shield AC is awesome cause it goes over softcaps. Plus it is like having another slot of gear for HP/Stats/AC generally speaking. (And mostly this was after the Shield Block AA was added, which was enormous mitigation)

For soloing, I can see 2-Handers being good. When I soloed my paladin up through classic levels I just used a Ghoulbane for most of it until 50ish. I think my rationale back then (probably 2000-2001~) was that I spent a large amount of time camping Ghoulbane and the proc was so fancy. And I also figured Ghoulbane out DPSed any 2hander I had access to at the time. With Baton of Faith being as cheap as it is, no harm in grabbing one and testing it out though! Probably out DPSes Ghoulbane with bad Dex.

Hell, about ANYTHING out damages a Ghoulbane if you are not killing un-dead. 2 handers after level 20 when the damage cap comes off will out damage any 1 hander.

And you are talking about hitting the soft cap. Hell you would have to be in TMO as a top officer to hit that for what it would cost.
