Warriors. Who tanks with a 2h?

[radbeard]

If it were possible to just click the weapons into and out of the offhand slot without needing to store the weapon in your inventory this would be viable but it just isn't with any amount of haste.

You have something like 2.5s or so to do the following and you need to do it every round you want to get the offhand damage.

you need to:
1. Turn off auto-attack the instant you attack
2. pick up lance
3. swap it out for scimitar in inventory
4. equip scimitar
5. turn on auto-attack
6. turn off auto attack
7. unequip scimitar
8. swap scimitar with lance from inventory
9. equip lance
10. turn on auto attack.

Unless you risk a ban automating or maybe use a weighted axe it just isn't realistic. As soon as you mess up once and auto attack primary with your bare fist you've lost more damage than you've gained in many rounds of doing this flawlessly.

That has got to be the least helpful, and least user friendly suggestion ive ever seen

What you mean to say is: you're not great at the game and don't put the effort in to max your character's potential for fights where it's needed. After trying to claim to be an authority about the subject and "the top Warrior on the server". Cool cool.

If EQ was actually a competitive prize-money game, the best players would be swapping all the time. It's a big DPS increase.

I know, I've already explained that in another thread. But you don't need to swap EVERY round. Swapping every other round is still a significant increase.

There are ways to make it easier too. You should have a bag opened while fighting, with your weapon in the bag lined up right next to the spot on the screen where you're going to be equipping it. You don't turn autoattack on/off either for the offhand weapon. You should have it hotkeyed in a "weapon attack" box, so you are swinging it manually right after equipping it, and then immediately uneqipping it and slotting the Two-hander back in.

I think this really only works for monks with high delay 2handers because they can pick up the weapon and use epic fist then quickly requip the 2hander...

I'm super gung ho on playing my war to the best of my ability but swapping all those weps would drive me bonkers. Only time I swap wep is cause I'm dkp poor and only have a 2hs avatar wep, but I'm also getting to lazy to do that and have just been asking for primal essence.

Imagine going this hard 7 years after the game was won with no warder loot, hope that helps.

What do you mean about this hotkey? If you unequip a 2hander while auto attack is active you will trigger your offhand punch almost immediately. I do this with my monk all the time since their fist attacks are significant. Are you saying that you don't use auto attack ever?
