Is using a two handed weapon crazy?

[Pijus]

So this is just a theoretical question. Is using a two handed weapon possible in inferno? Does anyone in here use one? Post your build and let me know how it goes if you do!

Possible, at least in act I, certainly.

But it will be pretty unwieldy. 2h mean slow attack. It mean avoiding attack is harder (because your attack animation is longer). It mean less spirit.

It has some advantages - more time invincible under seven sided strike, more damage from the vortex, more damage per spirit - useful if most of your spirit come from non-attack source like stuff. Still, all in all, dual will almost alway be better. And less frustrating to play.

Please disregard this if you have access to some blatantly unfair 2h weapon - if you have a daibo at 1000+ dps and 1000 lph, you may prefer it to mediocre 1-handed. But don't pay even 1 million for a two handed, since it will be transitory at best.
