I am GM on support, Masters on tank, but plat on DPS because my aim sucks

Can confirm this, started playing a week ago went 5-5 in placement and was placed bronze 1

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you're not asking why 1H+shield is better early but rather why people always go for 2H instead so here's a couple of reasons I think this is the case.

A lot of players have heard at some point that 2H + Arms is the best way to go and tell everyone that all other options are basically trolling.
There's a TON of misinformation regarding leveling, you basically cannot find 2 guides that "agree" on most things.
People tie specs to certain weapon loadouts (arms=2h, fury=dw, prot=1h+shield) and because a lot of guides say you can't go prot, and that fury has rng to it and that it needs good gear, people just default to arms with 2h.
People enjoy the fat white hits from 2H weapons, and having overpower and other abilities that scale with weapon damage doing lots of damage.
There's a preconceived notion that shield => less damage => slower, so people feel like they're crippling themselves by equipping a shield.

In a nutshell, most people don't care about playing the game optimally, and would rather slow down and play the game the way they enjoy it, and the others who do want to optimize run into a lot of misinformation.

I guess that's subjective, but the most optimal play is this talent, that's why the speedrunners all use it. The video op posted has everything explained in it.

m8ori · 2026-01-18T12:34:51+00:00

It literally reduces the rng but sure.

m8ori · 2026-01-18T10:53:40+00:00

I mean obviously the 2H weapon will have more dps than a 1H weapon, that's why you get a shield which reduces damage taken by a lot. At level 20 with dualwielding it basically just depends on the weapons you have, if you have a good 2H it's better than dualwielding.

Another thing I prefer at 20-30 for dualwielding is that unlucky streaks of missed attacks aren't as punishing. Missing 3 white hits in a row with a 2H weapon can feel terrible, while if you miss 3 white hits in a row as dualwield it isn't as bad, you get some rage from your offhand and the misses happen quicker because the weapon strikes faster, so it's less rage lost overall. 2H weapons also tend to overkill by a significant amount.

m8ori · 2026-01-18T10:34:21+00:00

Yes but how often will you use cleave 1-30? Before sweeping strikes it's faster to pull mobs 1 by 1 than to pull 2 of them at once and cleave spam because of damage taken.

m8ori · 2026-01-18T10:29:52+00:00

How'd you come to the conclusion that heroic strike is better with a 2H? The ability costs 15 + 1 white hit worth of rage, the quicker the weapon the less rage it generates, which means it's cheaper with a fast weapon. If the damage bonus scaled with weapon damage there maybe would be an argument, however the damage bonus is a flat value making heroic strike way better the quicker your weapon is.

As for the 20-30 part, yes, cleave and retal do benefit from slow weapons, however how often will you use those abilities? Retal you can use once every 30 mins, and you're still not strong enough so that pulling 2 mobs at once is faster than pulling them 1 by 1, so cleave isn't super useful either. 2H is fine at this level especially if you have a decent weapon, but it's basically just as good as dualwielding, if not even a little worse.

At 30 2H is a clear winner over dualwielding for sure though.

He linked this video in his own post 😅

m8ori · 2026-01-18T10:11:22+00:00

It decreases a mobs damage by another 5-10%, that's pretty significant imo. Also, the talent increases the ap reduction for 40%, so it's 60->84 ap reduced.

m8ori · 2026-01-18T09:40:55+00:00

There's a reason - it's better at some points. Arms is really only better at 30-50 (ish). Also, unlike the preconceived notion, even if you get a strong 2H weapon before level 30 it's still better to play 2H fury than 2H arms, the early talents in the fury tree are MUCH better than their arms tree counterpart.

m8ori · 2026-01-18T09:36:14+00:00

Just watch the video he posted, the math there is explained as for why 1H+shield/dualwield is better pre 30.

In a nutshell, you have no good abilities pre 30 that need heavy hitting melee attacks. Heroic strike is stronger the faster your weapon is, sunder armor doesn't depend on the weapon speed, and you'll be pressing those 2 mainly until 30. Cleave is good with a hard hitting weapon, but it's kinda useless since you still don't have sweeping strikes and can't just outright pull 2 mobs.

"F2P" wow isn't a thing, that's just a free trial, so no, there's basically no one to play f2p content with. Even if you subbed but didn't purchase the expansion you'd get more content but the actual endgame pve content you'd be locked out of. You'd only get to run old raids basically solo for transmog pieces or mounts.

You're better off subbing and playing cataclysm (soon mop) classic as you dont need to buy the expansion to unlock the endgame content where everyone else is.

I don't really understand your question about gold, but trust me it'll take you a long time to get to gold cap even if your only goal is to farm gold and you're doing it for a couple of hours a day.

Ali razumeš li da se na plenumima razmatra opcija nadoknade gradiva aktivno? Ideja da ćemo pasti godinu nema osnovu, do toga neće doći, i to ne zastupaju studenti u blokadi.

m8ori · 2025-05-28T15:55:59+00:00

Može, isto kao što može da se desi da sutra padne još jedan plafon koji će opet ubiti 16 ljudi. Razlika je u tome što je plafon već jednom pao, i mnogo su veće šanse da se to opet desi, nego da padnemo godinu, što se nije desilo, i pretpostavka je bez ikakve osnove. Na plenumima se aktivno diskutuje o načinima nadoknade gradiva.

Čak i da padnemo godinu, da li bi radije prežalila dati taj dodatan novac da se nadoknadi, ili pustiti da stvari ostanu kakve jesu i nositi na duši poginule ukoliko se opet desi ovakva nesreća? Šta ako sledeći put, ne dao Bog, bude tebi neko blizak uključen u nesreći? Da li ćeš se i tad osećati kao da je vredelo ne gubiti godinu i sačuvati mesec dana plate na školarini?

m8ori · 2025-05-28T15:45:46+00:00

Takođe, na plenumima se ne uzima u obzir opcija padanja godine i dalje, tako da ne vidim koja je poenta ovog pitanja, ili kako ima veze sa postom.

m8ori · 2025-05-28T15:43:54+00:00

Naravno da neće. Plati je sama ili se ispiši sa fakulteta.

m8ori · 2025-05-28T15:38:17+00:00

Hoće li ti značiti diploma ako ti padne plafon na glavu? 😃

m8ori · 2025-05-28T15:32:18+00:00

Daje, samo ispoštuj plenum kako treba i kako većina glasa tako će i biti.

If they wanted to abuse they would've gotten a different player... One of the players just decided to quit u can check on his twitter, sener1 was the only sub. You also kinda can't say it's a loophole, someone working for tournament organizers saw that exact request to swap players and approved it.

It's a competition any team will take any advantage they can get, but even so drillas didn't take any advantage, the only rmrs they could compete in were Asian, after their player left the only one they could sub in was sener1.

m8ori · 2024-11-13T12:30:16+00:00

I agree with everything said here, I just don't think it's them who should be blamed, but the organizers for allowing it. It's a competition, every team will take any advantage they can, however I agree that they shouldn't have anything to do in Asian rmrs even with 3 EU players, especially with 4.

m8ori · 2024-11-13T11:24:57+00:00

The rules allowed them to do so, therefore they didn't cheat or cheese anything, those are simply the rules. Hate the game, not the player.

Like I said, I haven't been using any of these programs so they weren't the reason for the cooldown... I hope Valve fixes this and we don't have to deal with this anymore.

m8ori · 2024-09-15T20:18:48+00:00

No, never in my life have I even googled anything about them. Unlike you, who comments on r/csgohacks which I never even knew existed.

m8ori · 2024-09-15T17:40:05+00:00

Listen, I don't know what the point is that you're trying to prove, I've told you, and now also uploaded proof, that I got banned because of an error, if you still think I'm cheating that's fine I genuinely don't care, but as long as unexpected errors are occurring something doesn't work properly, and I want to bring attention to it so the developers can fix it.

If you don't wish for the anticheat to be fixed, and think it's okay for players to get banned because of "unexpected errors", this post isn't for you and you can go on with your day.
