I dont know... I guess I havnt looked into it much.. I know if I were to throw this guy on right now, it would drastically reduce my DPS. My offhand is 50-300 plus int.
I always thought a wizards best weapon was a slow 2hand high dmg weapon.
Depends on the build. Some benefit from the MH+OH combo for faster attacks, others the big, slow hits of a 2H. Then you got the crazy melee tank wizards (like me) who use MH+Shield.
I totally didn't think to get a screenie of my best drop, an IK chest last night xD
though tbh, I've gotten an obscene amount of ilvl 61 set pieces for only farming act 1 (VERY casually) once or twice a day, got about 250ish hours in, and I've gotten:
natalya's helm
inna's pants
IK chest
IK gloves
Manajuma's knife (rocking that now, sure it gimps my dps, but I'm farming act 1, so 25k is totally fine if it means 323 mf with my 5 stacks)
Yeah, I've been giving lots of offerings to the RNG gods

What builds go good with a 2h? Just curious, I really havent came across any that I can think of off the top of my head.
I have a nice 2h with LOH and attack speed along with a few other stats, 1k+ dps.

The thing with the 2H has to do with Arcane Power usage. With a 2H you were able to sustain damage as opposed to blowing it all with fast weapons and then waiting a bit then blowing it again.
This was the main reason behind 2H usage early on in D3, I'm sure the builds have changed a bunch since then so I'm not sure how 2H is seen these days in a Wizard's eyes.

I think that's still true. I just switched to a 1275 DPS 2-hander and had a big jump in my overall damage, but my AP seems to drain quicker because I don't have the AP on crit mod anymore. That should be added to 2-hand weps, imo.

Arcane Orb with Crit/CritDmg stacking goes well with 2h. Hit for 300k+ if you get a big 2h with high crit/critdmg.
If you use a mh/oh with AO you'll oom and have to kite a ton more.

My friend's lightning resist monk just drooled heavily.
