Version history

Version	Changes
3.11.0	We've reviewed all Two-Handed weapon basetypes and have adjusted their attack damage, speed and implicits, with the goal of giving Two-Handed weapon builds a different feel to their dual-wield and one-handed counterparts, and to ensure that the damage you gain by using a Two-Hander made up for the lack of block and slower attack speed. All Two-Handed weapons have had their base damage increased by at least 15%, with axes in particular gaining even more damage Base attacks per second is now 1.4 (from 1.3). Damage increased to 90-122. (up from 76-103) [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
2.0.0	To broaden the number of choices players have when choosing their weapon, we have flattened out attack speeds across all weapon types. In general, the slowest weapons are now faster, and the fastest weapons are now slower than they were before. We have also increased the chance to critically strike for some weapon types, which should allow for critical strike builds on more than just a handful of weapons. Weapons with the lowest and highest attack speeds have been moved closer to the median. Two-handed melee weapons have generally been reduced in damage relative to one-handed equivalents in the early to mid-game.
