I know there are a lot of topics already to address the update, but I saw none with an opinion poll. I know SE reads these boards, so I wanted something obvious that SE can easily see. If SE is capable of a blunder of this magnitude, I have no faith in their ability to sift through a dozen different topics to find a concensus.
My opinion is that they are overpowered. While I have not seen a lot of parse results, I have seen enough. It was my understanding that SE inteded to balance 2-handed weapons by making them on par or slightly better than dual wielding single handed weapons and give players more options. Instead they made 2-handed weapons vastly superior.
In the real world 2-handed weapons are much more powerful than single handed weapons, but they are also much slower and LESS accurate. In a game world, there is no reason that a 5K 2-handed weapon should outperform single handed relic weapons.
Of course SE doesn't have windower and therefore their testers (assuming they even have testers) can't run a parse. Lets help them out.
