Single-Handed Damage Adjustments

[Gokku]

Currently, two-handed jobs have an unfair advantage over one-handed jobs in how their damage is calculated. It is so far skewed that dual-wielders have no place in current end-game content outside of procs. Are there any plans to fix the damage calculations to put the jobs back on even footing, or is it your intention for every player to have to level WAR, DRK, or SAM if they wanted to be considered for a DD role?

ill prase it this way , i have a barely merited uncapped dagger skill thf with a VERY solid exern , and the 2nd best tp set you can get for thf. it took me 2 months to gear thf as well as it is i have 0 empys and 0 magian weapons and im able to outparse and or hold my own with 2handed DD's in VW, and trust me im a piss poor thf.

Now you put me on Monk * none 2 handed DD and suffers from the same penaltys as 1handed users* and i straight wreck almost everything any anything im fighting.

you issues seem to stem from either your
A. lack of gear
B. lack of a reputation
C. lack of skill

yes 1 handed DD's CAN pump out solid DPS , but to do so you will have to work a hellva lot harder for it then a 2handed dps job. so if your not making the cut and getting frustrated look no further then yourself. Will you ever come close on thf to a well geared / skilled ukon war? no... but you can easily out dps your average cookie cutter af3+2 ukon war. God knows the last prov parse my static ran i out dps'd 2 ukon wars by 6% on my none ukon upheaval war.

to put it into perspective , cookie cutter war / drk / sam dps is somewhere between my thf and a mandau 95-99 / str dagger , thf with str food on and a PERFECT tp set, and a very strong WS set.

Resolution is heavely reliant on beating its atk pen. Ukkos is reliant on crits and has been nerfed once already , and fudo/shoha stops being omfgawesomesauce very very quickly.
