i just bought a 2H spear on my shaman, then i noticed i had no 2H pierce skill, so i made a warrior and he didn't have it either, so is 2H pierce just lumped in with piercing for skill?
Correct as stated. There is no separate skill for 2 hand or 1 hand pierce, it's only piercing. Didn't think about a shaman using a 2hpierce. Have to try it out.
I would find a crummy-damage fast delay 1hp to train skill on when planning on using a 2hp. Seemed cheaper and faster for what I had available at the time.
