STR non class weapons compared to DEX class only ones? Even class only to other class only is not perfect way since they are usually balanced especially for class play style.
But let's ompare class ones to other class ones. It's pretty simple comparison for 1 handed ones and shows that higher base dmg goes to str ones. Warp Blade is only exception, I think this may be not balanced one but this is rather material for whole separate topic.
For 2 handed ones, if naginata is so good all the people are not running with this shit? - it isn't. Few point of damage more has no comparison to Thunderfury or Mega Impact procs while naginata has just AoE attack. Also, 2 handed ones doesn't have to be so different because there is no block.
Well nobody uses 1h char str weapons(paladin blunt weapon, barbarian swords), and nobody uses common dex weapons(as suchbalance pointed out), so no point comparing them. I can just add them to my previous post if you will, but nothing will change, my points stand valid.
Naginata weapon is really good, but skill tree aint great, so people dont play it much. Although marco himself is playing nagisin this season.
Well sorc swords has aoe, naginata has aoe, amazon spears have amazing grace. On the other hand hand of god has amazing grace and barb axes has thunderfury, and melee scythes has mega impact. i dont see your point. That sounds pretty balanced to me. Considering scythe melee necro aint that great compared to his dex dagger counterpart.
"Also, 2 handed ones doesn't have to be so different because there is no block", well yeah thats my point. They are not so different, and even though they dont benefit from block, they still benefit from free AR.
I mean the origina post is biased towards strength builds obviously, but that doesnt mean my arguments are wrong.
