I'll hijack this thread for a question about game mechanics! In particular, 2 handed vs. sword&board weapon loadout. I've recently started a chosen (blasphemy! madness!) and being the huge armored blob of meat, he gets a choice of either wielding a shield and sword/axe or a 2handed sword/axe. But how does this work? While playing with both, I got the feeling my dps was about the same no matter what kind of weaponry I had equipped. If I understand the mechanics, the weapon dps only affects the autoattack damage anyhow, ability damage is only affected by stats. So where do the actual differences show up? Specialization? Certain skills?
