Kilo, keep in mind that LS Skorn's were some of the best weapons in vanilla D3.
Considering that attack speed is a non-factor in dots,(at least for witch doctor) jade doc hypothetically would work best with the heaviest, slowest weapon available.
That said there's a good chance missing out on the % to elite of sunkeeper, and damage, CC and % haunt on mojo will negate any benefits we see from switching to a 2h.
But then again 3k x 1.25 = 3750dps, should hit like a truck...
Mafwiz, remember that a strong 1H wep (2450 dps) and mojo (370-440 or so) is already equal to a +3K dps weapon. You're trading 750 weapon dps for 10% crit, skill damage etc.

I think you can get 3.2k on live, so 4000 dps. Maximus may end up being worth it

Yea I have a soulsmasher that has a damage range of 3900. That's going to hit a LOT harder than any 1 hand + OH. So big spenders / CD builds will benefit from 2 handers.
Skywarden only gives the passive portion, so it'd be 8% IAS, 140 AR or 3.7k LPS, picked at random. These are okay, but the fact that you can't rely on one is... less than ideal.
Vigilance is really not that great because the IS doesn't block projectiles, only enemy movement.
BB and Ahavarion can be good, and I'd keep an eye out for Maximus (with Burning Locusts only), Skorn (for the extra DoT), and post-patch, The Grandfather (5 primaries). Maybe The Tormentor could be worth it for the CC and free damage from Charms. Overall, though, it might not be worth the loss of Rhen'ho Flayer's excellent passive.

Are you sure dps is what we are looking for? I'm under the impression that skills/spells use the damage of the weapon to determine their damage. Attack speed is only allowing you to hit more often.
If, for example as a wizard, I would use Energy Twister, Hydra, Blizzard, Meteor (molten impact), black hole etc. I expect them to hit a lot harder than when I use 1h + offhand. Without losing efficiency, because of the cooldowns and 'cast & forget' style of play.
Correct me if I'm wrong though, because I'd like to know what I'm doing when 2.1 is launched.
That's exactly where 2 handers shine; CD's and big hits. They also allow for maximum damage : resource. And yes, they use the damage range, not the big ol' dps number.
Yeah damage comes from the damage range of a weapon. The displayed DPS of the weapon is just the average of the damage range multiplied by the weapon attack speed.
I was wondering if there were any 2h suited for a DoT build that i could have missed.
I dont know if there are any WD specific 2h like there are 1h.
Any tips ? Or will nothing change ?
