SWF vs 2WF for Cleric & Possibly Arti

How does the damage compare between SWF and 2WF in general? 

I know bard is disgusting because of Swash.  My cleric's DPS at 25 is underwhelming comparatively and I'm looking for ways to amp it up a bit.

I wouldn't bother with SWF anymore unless you're swashing.

Well....maybe for a melee arti. But Jug builds aren't so hot anymore.

SWF let you pick up a orb, so it's nice for divine hybrid builds.
Like my max. CHA Favorite Soul PDK using Celstia.

(The light damage get's amped by 10-50% from Shield of Condemnation and max. CHA let me use all those nice ED SLAs. To bad Celestia is broken like hell.)

Try blade barrier, comet fall, Divine Punishment, Implosion, etc.

They were my problem.  I'm trying to tone back on spell point usage.

Well if spell damage is low or spell point usage is high or inefficient, going melee is not gonna solve your problem.

Get more spellpower, use spellpower pots, clickies, better DCs, better past lives.

That said, swf shits on twf. It's not even funny.

That is useful.

This is why i asked the question.  Going orb over a 2nd weapon and still keeping on par melee damage with the main hand will net me more spell power to light & fire.

I'm not well geared, nor do I play extremely well other than as a hjeal bot.  My cleric doesn't have a serious issue per se because I primarily run on Normal.  When I step up to hard it almost becomes a potfest, so I'm trying to find new methods to fix my short fallings.
