Well it was more about 2H weapons, which seem to be the gimp weapon of the game. yes, str based builds are worse than agility builds currently, but 2H builds are worse than DW strength builds too. A DW strength gladiator still tears them apart. The only real chance is to 1-hit the opponent (rage + theatrics) or have a nice slow bash up against wars (all varieties) who are also really slow.

I do like seeing Lord Brutish performing well, which is interesting. I never expected +302 block to be what made a 2H rage do well. Can't argue with the results though. I also spy a speed 1.1 flail and I wonder how much of an impact that has. Regearing is going to be freaking laborious though :S
