[Premaximum]

I've been soloing on my moderately twinked (read: No Fungi) Warrior for a while now. I just like the exp gain and the ability to go at my own pace. My question is should I be using 2H or Dual Wielding to get the most damage?

For reference, my 2H is Staff of Battle and my Dual Wield setup is currently Veno Axe+Frostbringer.

It seems like they do pretty comparable damage at level 34, tbh. I've heard a lot about how Staff of Battle just blows DW out of the water, but I haven't found that to be the case, or maybe I'm just showing confirmation bias. It seems like the extra 17 AC might also be relevant considering every extra damage I take needs to be bandaged back up.

Anyone have any suggestions or evidence one way or the other? Is there a better pure damage dual-wield setup that I could be utilizing for a comparable price? Is Staff of Battle just the best option?
