thats if all strikes hit. Usualy dualwield wins out because you have more chances to strike an opponnent. In basic terms you get one swing with 2h per attack where you get two strikes of half the damage per attack with duel wield.
1 attack 2h = 1 strike for 100dmg total
vs
1 attack dw = 2 strikes for 100dmg total
Over time you will get more dmg out of the dual wield because of misses ect depending on acuracy, speed, skill and damage of weapons.
But lets put all things on a basic playing field where the 2h weapon in twice as damaging and 2 slower than a dw combo.
Over 100 attack time period lets put acuracy at 50%
So with the the 2h im going to hit the opponent 50 times
with the duel wield im going to hit 100 times
now here is where it gets complicated because everystrike you get a chance to critical, spell proc or anything special. With the DW you have a greater chance to do those special things with more potential to do more damage or cause more actions toward the enemy.
If vanguard is able to keep all things equal then it shouldnt matter because each style would have mitigating on the bonus or penalty side of the house. It should be personal style really and truly, im a person that loves the big honking axe or sword over two rapiers or scimitars.
