If you're dual wielding you should just be using dual EBW's until planar drops, but TBH 2h is better for soloing. You'll riposte harder and eat less ripostes yourself. Pick up a Lamentation blade. For neck, get a glowing bone collar.

I solo'd a bunch on my Ranger. I will say 40+ there's gonna be a lot of root n shoot, so grab a C and post up somewhere with decent ZEM.

2H was definitely strong at the lower and mid levels. Once you hit the high 30s though, dual wield overtook 2h in kill speed for me (2x wakazashi vs gigantic zweihander). I still keep a 2h bagged for mobs with a DS, but the higher you go, the less competitive it is with dual wield, at least with classic itemization. I would be curious to try using a planar 2h though, like the ashenbone axe or whatever, if I could get my hands on one. For now, I'm more than happy with my rat whip and flux axe.

Sadly, Rangers don't get great 2h options in classic.

Yeah, I was bummed when I noticed I couldn't equip mithril 2h.
