2h Piercing Sucks?

Hello folks, hope someone can help me...

By looking at the melee weapon list, I noticed that 2h Piercing weapons have slightly better avg damage than one-handed ones. However, this extra damage (even with Two Handed skill for more crits) IMHO is not enough to offset the absence of a second weapon or a shield.

The question is: 2h weapons really sucks, or at upper lvs I get new skills to increase their effectiveness?

2h weapons have an innate bonus to double attack
(unless i'm wrong about that... Jeff?), they don't suck. oh and you also get use of the mirrored blade skill.

also at high level you can crit more than 50% of the time with a few of the skills.

looking at the massive damage these things deal im sure they will dish out enough to be competative

however, dual wielding some weapons that daze/stun/mesmerise will still likely overpower it because they wont get enough hits in from the constant effects.
