Velious 2H patch - does it make a big difference starting at 51?

My only guess at this point is that warriors get a new, better damage table starting at 50 or 51. I was hanging around with a higher level warrior who was muuuch more consistently getting high hits, even though he had less strength than me.

Keep in mind that at 39 or 40 you hit your 200 skill cap for slashing and 210? for offense and it doesn't raise again until 50 or 51. You essentially have 10 levels of no offensive gains while mobs become tougher. It might appear underwhelming, but once you get into the 50's, things will pick up.

As for your original question, the velious 2h damage revamp adds damage bonus at 50+ according to this.

And then you hit that massive crippling blow and forget about the lows for a while.

You're just going by the bad feels. Trust in that 2 hander is better unless you're in a bigger group where threat generation is more important than dps / dmg taken.

It's really cool when you land a rare 1k hit [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] IIRC I did it once on LTK with the crappy CS dragon 2 hander while berserk, max attack buffed and running fellstrike.
