Or rather lack of (useage).

At first glance of the weapons (Ornate Greatblade et al.) it would appear that the weapons are superb. Unfortunately for anybody that understands how the combat engine works and how DPS is meted out, the sub 28 delay kills almost every single one of these weapons.

I don't think the designers intended on laying out sub-par 2handers but instead just do not understand what exactly a damage bonus means/does.

I also don't know if I see them remedying this problem anytime soon. Instead what you'll probably see is this detail being given to some apprentice to go back in the DB and rework the ratios of all the 2handers that fall below the cut-off point to make them feasible.

shrug
