I've recently come back to the game after a 3 year absence, and needless to say, I've reverted to being more or less a noob. I'm wondering what the pros and cons are of using dual swords as opposed to a pole or blunt for my BH. Right now I'm using top C common duals, I do have a pole, and have my skills in pole mastery, but still, I have to wonder if its worth it to use them or the pole, or a blunt at my level (47ish).
blunts suck
if you are single targeting use a 2 handed sword so you can use fatal strike but if the best you can get is duals then stick with that
if you are aoeing (which you should) then obviously use a pole
if you are pvping (which you shouldn't at 4x) use a blunt

2 handed blunt has higher dps (think it's about 10%) but if you factor in more skill spam it's prolly about 0 and it's always handy to squeeze in an extra stun before you get nuked or paraed
the main reason to use a 1 hander imo though is to negate some of the archer and dagger damage and every now and again i guess a mage nuke or two
