1h Vs 2h sword

Would it be better to use a 1h sword and a shield, or a 2hand sword and ereve brilliance? Ik 2h sword gives more attack but would the attack speed on a 1h be better then the extra damage on 2h?

2h is better, you only get the + attack speed if you use mpe green pots cuz they remove speed cap. and even then, the attack speed gain from 1h is less dps increase than the multiplier difference. (2h swords multiply everything by 1.33, 1h only multiply by 1.20) i think.. numbers might be off. but i remember reading something that had all the math and the end of it was just 2h being better no matter the situation.
edit: unless of course, you perma hit cap, then you swap to a 1h to get more attacks.

2h sword, using a 1h sword just chews through mana pots. I don't remember the skill, I think it's Master of the Sword, but it increases your weapon speed so basically a 2h sword is just as fast as a 1h sword so unless you have a really bad 2h sword, go 2h all the way
