1h vs. 2h definitive answer.

There have been several threads about this issue, but I'd like to come to a general conclusion once and for all.

Taking into consideration that 1h wep multiplier is 1.20 and 2h is 1.32, do the pros of going with 1h outweigh the cons.

excluding shield only skills, what are other pros?

Well I got the information that I needed to explain to people that ask me about 1h and 2h. Thanks for clearing it up. Now I'm locking this.

That was NOT his argument. It's a simple law of physics. Force=mass*acceleration. That is to say, something with less mass, swung faster, can be equal to or surpass the force exerted by a heavier, slower object. It all depends upon the indirectly proportionate relationship shared by mass and acceleration. [/quote]

Force = mass * acceleration. That's true, but you're wrong, regarding what matters.
Acceleration is NOT speed.
Speed is Velocity.
Acceleration doesn't really matter, in this case.
Maple has no speed value, besides attacks per minute. <--- This is why the argument fails.
Maple doesn't give us the mass of the swords. <--- Really? Do I need to provide more missing values?
Maple is 2D, so we couldn't find the distance the swords travel, if we did have the acceleration. <--- Duh... Hurr... Swings in Maple are animated to look 3D
This whole argument is dumb.
There is no reason to mention physics in Maple.
There are no Physics in Maple.

@Classicvibe
In that stupid military example you provided, you didn't include funding.
Therefore, the example is null and void.

You said slow and strong < fast and weak?

that's why I said general. Not Absolute. I can come up with plenty of examples anyways >_>

That's not necessarily true. When you want to 1hko, slow but strong wins.

OT: I've also heard the argument that 1h is only better with a decent att shield. 2h weps generally have higher base att, other than the fact that they can be scrolled by 50%s.

I figured as much. For some reason people I explain this to, don't get why 1h is better. I thought there was something I was missing, but apparently not.

They must just be really slow.

In the normal scenario, 1h is better and this was known before BB came out.
