like the title says it, what do you prefer and why...
I made this thread because i never see a hunter with 2 one hand axes and they all have polearms
Would my gearscore and stats go up if i would choose 2 one hand axes? in stead of a polearm?

just like jendah said in pve you want a 2 handed weapon because they give you more dps stats, in pvp you always use 2 one handed weapons because you can use deterrence while disarmed by warriors and shadow priests etc
A 2hander will always give you superior stats. Is it a polearm or axe depends on your race. A orc hunter would pref. a 2h axe for instance.Quote:

On top of that, due to having Viper fixed, you will regen more mana if you melee hit something with 2 one handers, so daggers are a really nice choice for pvp.
for what reson orc hunter (ANY HUNTER) should use 2h axe?)))))))))))Quote:

if its for pve just get whatever gives you more stats, if its for pvp get both a 2h wep and 2 1h weapons to switch between depending on what you're facing.
he thinks of the 5exp racial that u get as orc, but exp doesnt do anything, only if u wanna play the op melee hunterQuote:

ignore Mchaplain, expertise doesnt mean much to a hunter and if you're able to get a good 2h pve weapon like Oathbinder than it will provide much better stats other than resilience which you're better off getting from gems or pvp offparts.
For BGs or against teams with no disarm:
Oathbinder > 2h Wrathful > dual wield axes
Against disarms (usually in arenas):
dual wield axes > Oathbinder.
The reason I like axes over daggers/etc. is because they have a slower speed. Should you end up in melee range, you likely won't stay there for long, so you want to hit the enemy as hard as you can for the 1 auto attack you are in melee range for. You can choose to use Oathbinder in arenas, but honestly, sitting 10 seconds in disarm without being able to deter or do anything is pretty much death.
As far as I know rogue can disarm both weapons, so it only works vs warrior, priest, etc., which disarm only the main hand weapon.
The point is, if you use 2x1h you can use 2 enchs which one should be weapon chain to reduce the disarm duration by 50%.
So instead of full 10s when you cannot deter, take full dmg and die you take 5s and hopefully be able to deter with 1hp left.
