2H weapon vs 1H weapon+shield
« on: November 03, 2020, 05:15:43 am »
yeah, i know that dwarf cant equip 2h weapons due to size problem.
so i have modded dwarf size to use 2h weap.

the question is,
Is it worth to use 2H weapons without shield?

I would generally say no, but this is probably preference.

DF combat is so "fast" (as in number of attacks per 'second') that I'd rather have my dwarf live longer and deal more damage over time than deal damage quickly. That said, an argument could be made that ending combat quicker might result in fewer crippling injuries. I'd closely examine the information about weapons on the Wiki and see if any of the weapons seem worth it to you. Keep in mind the many bugs related to weapons and armor interactions. You might be better served by teaching dwarves how to make whips than to have them swing around giant swords.

yeah i tested serveral cases. and now i know that 2H weapon is useless! XD 

in my tests, 2H users never beat 1H+Shield users. NEVER!!
