This is the build that I am using and I would like to use 2H on my way to level 60 and even while I progress through Inferno. Is this a viable way to play in Inferno or should I not even try?
I don't know much about playing a Monk. My main is a Demon Hunter, so I definitely need some advice.
On your way to level 60 it definatly could work. Not sure how long, but it could. By and large, you can get away with doing whatever you want until Inferno.
That said, I always found the two handers too slow to be fun.
Obviously, it also depends on the two hander. Also, unless you're going for some kind of "on hit" build (which would be weird with a two hander), I would recommend changing out sweeping wind. Mostly because I find it boring, but also because it then lets you use other skills that I find generally better, such as Pillar of Light (good AoE damage plus decent knockback, and can be runed to use half as much mana), lashing tail kick (decent AoE damage, good knockback) or Seven Sided Strike (decent AoE damage, great single target boss damage)
Back before the AS nerf I actually used a 2 hander with 900 LoH and 1k dps because I could actually get my attack speed higher then it is now with 2 1 handed weapons but since the patch I haven't used 2 handers. Their base dps is definitely sexy and they can do more overall damage then 1 handers so I guess if you have the right build it's viable but otherwise not so much I think. just depends on the weapon and your playstyle really.
I've come to the conclusion that using 2H weapons in Inferno probably wouldn't be the best idea, considering my build. I've decided to use a 1H weapon and a shield. Thank you for the feedback, I've given you both +1.
Using a 2H sword on a Monk is so aesthetically pleasing, I just had to see if I could make it work!
Oh well, I can always use 2H weapons up until late Hell or the start of Inferno.
