Hero 1h or 2h?

So I'm just coming back to MS after a really long break (like since Kaiser) and I wanna make a new explorer since I have Perm NX and a pet, and Hero is about the only class I haven't made, so that's the class I'm choosing. I see that on a DPS chart that 1H is higher than 2H, is it easier to go 1h since scrolling shields and stuff is easier because of the spell traces? What are the pros and cons of each?

I think it's a preference on just faster attack speed. 2h weapons are slower, but have higher damage output. 1h weapons are faster, but are weaker in comparison. Honestly I just go with the intended weapon that class is naturally known for. Except for Paladins, they use swords and hammers, and I don't know what suits better.

1 hand, honestly while it is easier to go 2 hand 1 hand I personally find more powerful end game

I dunno about dps, but personally I think 1h feels and looks a lot better, which is why I chose to go 1h.

No 2h is by far much easier to go.

Oh. I thought you could. Like I said, I haven't played in forever so I'm kind of unfamiliar with the new system, lol..
