I think I'll set up an experiment to test the differences.Gwerychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16343002044642471353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90220162047865849.post-695696315619318252007-03-28T16:51:00.000-05:002007-03-28T16:51:00.000-05:00I think you're misinterpreting Kalgan's comment. I...I think you're misinterpreting Kalgan's comment. It is regarding a one hand weapon + shield not dual wielding two weapons. Because, at early levels you can't really compensate for the increased miss rate of dual wielding with many + hit bonus items (nor do you have talents to overcome the dual wield penalty that a rogue would have), a two-hander may be the way to go for a melee hunter. You need to be as accurate as possible for every hit and dual wielding artificially decreases your chance to hit (24% vs. 5% miss chance with a two-hander).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01753967079708213732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90220162047865849.post-26628958639723805982007-03-28T14:03:00.000-05:002007-03-28T14:03:00.000-05:00Ughh, long time hunter here lvl 70 raid guild lead...Ughh, long time hunter here lvl 70 raid guild leader blah blah blahI have been around the block ad back agian. As much as the thought of a pure melee hunter pains me I will look beyond it. <BR/><BR/>You would be better off taking a big slow 2 handed weapon over a pair of 1 handers. As a good chunk of your dps will come from raptor strike you want those raptors to hit like trucks. Combine a nasty 2 hander with savage strikes and your raptor dps will increase even more. <BR/><BR/>I saw your post on the official forums, I imagine you already know this but posting melee hunter on there will get you crucified. <BR/><BR/>Hunters are a ranged class... But good luck with your project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
