Hi All,
I need your suggestion on this regarding what type of weapon is good for Crusader(possible Paladin). My Crusader is at lvl 15 now holding a 2 hand weapon (maul). Should I go with the Shield and 1 hand weapon? or should I stick with 2 hand weapon?

Most Crusaders go for a 2 hander for soloing and a 1 hander and shield for grouping. I go for a 2h sword for slashing and a 1h hammer and shield to keep my crushing skill up. Since you've been using a crushing weapon I would suggest a 1h sword and shield for slashing.

24 Paladin here and I have not found any situation to use a two handed weapon yet.
The best one hander and two hander that I can get at my level are not that much difference in damage to justify using a two hander and giving up 200 ac on my shield.
Check a pristine iron long sword and a pristine iron greatsword for comparison the two hander does higher damage but the delay is much more and balances out. Could get the numbers but just check the broker.
Now I thought this stange so I asked a 40+ paladin if there is a two hander bonus at higher levels and he told me no there wasn't. He linked his weapon which was a two hander with some massive damage and the delay of a flight out of a busy airport.
It seems to me that there will never be a reason to give up a huge ac difference and a cheap stun to get a slow weapon with big hits.
The conclusion I have come to is as a tank we use two handers to give a big bang hit as it makes us feel more tank like. In EQ they put the two hander bonus in to help balance this but minus that there really is not a reason to use a two handed weapon.
In my own opinion a huge increase in ac and faster hits that aren't as impressive is more efficient so it's the way I go until I hear something that changes my mind.
