My original main is a DE SK named Cynfyn on the Saryrn Server (some of you
may remember him and some of you may not know him at all) And as Wulfric
stated SK do get bash and being hybrid like the Paladin have the option to
use practically all the melee weaponry. myself personally i hate using 2
handed weaponry just because I like that extra ac I get form using a shield.
But as was stated by someone else here making use of the 2hs skill is good
to do for non MT/raid situations where you don't have to keep the agro but
wanna add to the damage quota. basically its all what I like to call
"Taster's Choice" in regards to what you wanna use for melee. There is no
real wrong way in regards to your choice of melee. Do what you feel
comfortable doing and go with it. but at least keep up yer skills in those
area's that you don't use much just as a fall back type situation or if you
happen to come across a weapon with some really neat stats that you decide
you want to make use of later on
