are one handed weapons better than two handed ones?

[Mr.l]

the increase protection that comes with the shield for me does the trick, any reasons why i should pick a guy in the team with two handed weapons?

The AOE damage of Twohanded weapons is higher..
Or the single target damage of a twohanded weapon is higher.

But if you want protection definetly a shield yeah..
if you want more dps as onehander equip a torch :P (the rest of the consumables weapons are still worthless offhand)

I wouldn't say the non shield weapons are useless. You can use the bombs to cause bleed with the right combo, and then other skills can trigger poison to stack on top of that bleed. Axes can cause bleed and are decent with high crit and strength.

The blind powder is ok, but again is part of other combos with skills.

im not using 2h weapons completly, only spear and bow. shields are much better for me, especially bandit shields with 90% ranged dmg reduction. extra guard from shield+shield trait and armor

and again i read DPS (for old mmorpg players like me that played games before wow this stands for "D"amage "P"er "S"econd) in a Tactical Turnbase game. have i missed a Combat RT Modus in the Options?

2h : Massive dmg, mostly with aoe swings
1h: less dmg than 2h and mostly on target.

Yeah and Noob stood for Newbie or military slang FNG .. but internet changed it to something else.
DPS is nowadays simply damage .. and while technical Damage per second.
Even in TBS game , it is still more then 0 Damage is still more damage per second.

Look all those consumable are CRAP.. cause in the end you ain't going to keep crafting those stuff , just to get a slight bonus. even poison knife with VIPER , I gave up doing it .
Cause the torch engage is more important... once you engage you can do a lot of nifty stuff.
With riposte. and hitting 2 or 3 enemies better then single target low damage throw.

I was the same way at start but then i got the legendary 2h axe and hammer. They shred especially the axe with maelstrom the ordinary 2 handers are meh unless you love 2 handers. It's best to have more tanks the more you grow your troop so you can engage dangerous enemies with your shielders then flank with damage dealers and 1 handed mace is best boss tank for rivalry. All you really need is 1 each for big weapons unless they added more in the update i cant finish downloading.
