Sometimes it is useful to fish for crips with the offhand (fist) but the clicks required to unequip primary, equip secondary and revert seems too risky to miss a big primary round / riposte for the payoff of an extra hand offhand round with weapon. Maybe if you unequiped the 2hander by blocking primary making attacks with a firebeetle eye or similar… maybe ??? But you’r still miss ripostes.

Weapon swapping only seems viable if you're swapping to a shield in offhand to bash a spell cast, or if you're a Bard modifying your songs with instruments. You could possibly argue swapping a higher damage dagger for bigger backstabs as Rogue, but you better be on the money to not mess up an attack round.

Yeah weapon swapping for anything but proccing an important effect (snare/slow/etc) on a warrior is never something I would consider.

It's not silly whatsoever, it's a big DPS increase and not hard at all on monk. Everquest melee combat involves almost nothing, clicking the weapon on and off is barely anything compared to other games.

Use a high delay two-hander and get good.

Anything other than a monk isn't feasible

it doesnt work on anything but a monk because the offhand attack happens as soon as you take the 2h out of your hand.... in other words, you cant swap from a 2h to an offhand before the offhand swings. monks are the only ones who have a decent offhand ratio when using epic.

Wrong in all regards. You turn auto attack off to do it.

The monk epic decreases the amount of damage a Monk does when clicking their two-hander on and off, since the raw attack damage of fists is higher without epic equipped.

I'm having a hard time telling if you're being serious ...

I legit couldn't turn attack off, take 2h out, swap in inventory with offhand, equip that, then swap back without missing a 2h attack

Where as a monk can simply take 2h off, then re click it back on
