Default Best 2H for SK? (Other than epic)

That I could purchase, when I sell my Ebon Mace for 15-17k

I'm trying to fear kite hill giants for the plat so I could afford HBC, Granite Bracer, Hammerhead Helm, etc.

I have around 1600 HP, 900 Attack, 805 AC at level 40 on my Ogre SK.

182 Str
154 Stam
76 Dex
79 Agility
87 Intel

From a PvE sit and melee standpoint, Ebon Mace is going to be close to equal DPS to the best 2handers while also allowing for shield/bash.

2hander wise, the best DPS/buck is going to be a BrokenSkull Club, but they haven't dropped for a long time. If you're playing blue, GFG (29/36 for 12k) and Jade Inlaid Crescent Axe (32/40 for 15k) are the next best thing. If you're playing red, I'd go with Oggok Cleaver (44/60).

Rod of Mourning is also good, but won't be affordable for 15-17k

Ratios:
Ebon Mace 0.792
BrokenSkull Club 0.805
GFG 0.806
RoM 0.806
Jade Inlaid Crescent Axe 0.800
Oggok Cleaver 0.733

The negative stats on the BrokenSkull Club won't matter much if you're fear kiting. Its also the cheapest option - the issue is only that they haven't dropped for a long time.

My suggestion is to hold out with the Ebon Mace.

Won't I kill faster with a 2h?

From a pure melee standpoint, not by much, if any.

The damage gains would come mostly from using the larger 2h delay to weave spells between casts or to miss less swings on moving targets.

Ebon Mace is just such a strong item in Kunark - there aren't any droppable 2handers that make it worth ditching the Mace/Atra shield combo.

Thanks man, guess I'll hold on to Ebon Mace and try my best to make plat.

Rod of Mourning is a great leveling weapon when you get to low-mid 50s. The stun is very useful in a group, but doesn't make much of a difference fear kiting. Big delay is great for casting as has been said.

Also you might be able to pick up a Khyldorn somehow. I'm pretty sure almost every Khyldorn on server is rotting in bank; I know Zeelot and I haven't used ours in forever.

Yeah. Zeelot has epic #3 and I have #4- we've had them for approaching two years, though I'm not sure what other active SKs have Khyldorn. I'm sure Xadion got his epic quickly too and I would imagine he has a Khyldorn, but never see him. No idea if Sentenza bothered to get one though he certainly could have.

Khyldorn is pretty rare, but I'd guess they rot sometimes. I think all of FEs SKs have epic, have to imagine TMOs do too. If FE/TMO go to kill Eye of Veeshan you might be allowed to tag along if you asked nice. Other guilds would be more likely to have non-epic SKs still looking for Khyldorn.
