With the 2h weapon bonus and buffs, there is no reason to ever go duel weild. And as a wrdn/r think of the dmg you will get from throw with a 2h axe rather than two small daggers.

Stick to 2h weapons. Since you have no 1h weapon mastery as Warden, the damage alone is enough to make you only use 2h weapons over 1h for DPS. W/R often use 2 1h axes because their offhand hits also generate rage (pretty sure but don't quote me) and for offhand stats. This is not very plausible for Warden unlike Warrior because the Warden has no mastery for 1h weapons at all.

Dont forget that wd/r has dual wield has faster attack speed. But overall, I feel wd/s is the way to go. You have 2h mastery and chiron.

A faster attack speed on wd/r isnt any advantage

Wardens aren't about speed, they're about raw damage. They hit big and they hit hard.

Charged chop with a 1h axe just seems lackluster, but spamming it with a 2h weapon deals some crazy damage.

Currently, they're the only viable tank option that can use a 2h and hold aggro. Sure warriors can use 2h and can tank some things, but who plays warrior without playing mage as a secondary? They're all too busy pretending to be Sith lords with their electric magic :P

lmao...And I wasnt saying Wd/R dual wield cc is better then 2h cc. Just that at least to me it isnt the crappiest you can do.

Dual wield wd/r is 1/3 weaker than 2h build no matter what. Simply because theres no 1h mastery. No amount of runes and stats on offhand can make up for it.
