[Krank The Tank]

Although if you're using a claymore in only one hand it reduces the damage significantly. Just as an example of one claymore I remember seeing in Act 2 (so it won't be strong) did 8-17 in two hands but only 1-7 in one hand.

I prefer one-handed weapons because they're a lot faster. And Diablo II is really the only game I really care about attack speed since you're usually fighting hordes of monsters all at once. Plus, if you play a barbarian like me, you can use two of them at once. I especially like getting two axes (I'm an axe kind of guy) that both add different types of damage. For instance, I use one double axe (6-12, not the best damage) that adds 1-8 lightning damage while the other adds 4-14 poison damage over 3 seconds. Although I can't double swing I can add both types of damage in quick succession, so it still owns anyway.
