Hello, so I recently started playing RIFT, and I am wondering if I need to go one hand and tome or twohanded weapon? Seems like two handed weapons give the best dmg? but there might be reasons to go with 1h? :P It's kind of easier to google the answer when playing wow, but the rift post I've seen all focus on where to spend points, rather than what weapons to use..

For most Clerics, there is no "better weapon"; just whichever combo gives you the best stats for your level but in general.

1H + Shield should only be used for tanking.
1H + Totem or Staff should only be used for healing.
2H should only be used for dpsing.

Hahah! I play a lot of CSGO.. And I change my name often. It's just for fun. And of course, I kill all the enemies. And the occasional teammate.

For a long time I had this two-handed hammer that gave more bonuses than any combo of 1H weps/totems (don't go rogue and use two weapons - totems tend to provide more stats from my experience). Then I found a totem and a one-handed hammer that gave much higher stats.

All depends on the stats, the only time you want to focus specifically on using a one-handed wep is when tanking, then you need one with a shield. Weapon damage is such a small part of DPS in this game that it doesn't matter much from my experience.

Just go with what gives you the best stats, although I don't think you'll find a dps/healing shield lol.

I use a 1h mace and totem for dps since the mace has an extra damage proc, and my 2h mace for healing since it has a proc healing shield.

If it weren't for the proc on the 1hander, I'd use the 2hander for everything due to slightly better stats.
