So.. can you make two handed weapons feel worth the loss in stats please?

It really detracts from classes like wizard, sorc, and ranger to use the non staff and non longbow/shortbow playstyle. while the two handers FEEL better the stats from double single slotting seems too good to pass up for many heroes.

I also, noted that the two handed axe on the warrior uses mana the entire time you use the second weapon ability (whirlwind spin) which makes it terribly inefficient but, playing sword and board style on him is not as entertaining or fun.

Is there any way you can fix this? at least make the two handed weapons carry the same stats as two separate slotted items?

If you are a weapon damage focused build two handed weapons are the best option. The loss of stats is unfortunate but two handed weapons are just so much better, Dual Daggers are the best melee weapon, Greataxe spin is pretty good, ranged weapons are more complicated but two handed weapons are better there as well.

For spell focused builds two handed weapons are bad.

Mana is really an early progression issue, there are enough ways to solve it for weapon skills that it just isnt an issue later.
