I've really been wanting a 2hf alt recently, one I might even invest in(EG get some actual PLs, tomes, etc). Whats the 2hf meta these days, and where do falschions rank?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Wood-elf barbarian is good for 2HF Falchions. Melee sucks in the current meta, but there are some changes coming up to EDF - check Lama threads.

And you forgot to go jump off an overpass into a busy highway traffic, degenerate jigaboo.

Joke aside, I'm doing Horc lives on my caster so I decided to try fighter and barbarian.  Playing a horc sorc was just a little too weird for me.

Pure fighter or pure barb was fine leveling and at cap.  I used the Falchion from LVoD

Mid-R leveling was ton of fun, especially on the barb.   

At cap, I found the single-target DPS to be lacking compared to my Tempest Ranger or Archer. 

It was still fun.

I should probably wait and see if the XP nerf serves as the final nail in the coffin for melee before I do anything.

For a Meat-Head: Do you still get strikethrough with that?

You do if you take the THF feat line.

Is the idea that you take both feat lines, then?  THF+SWF?

I didn't do that. I thought the two lines were exclusive but maybe there's some sort of "trick" involved in getting them both?

What I did is take the entire THF line of feats and then used the Vanguard tree to increase my attack speed.

You might beable to take the SWF line of feats and then take the new Two Handed Specialty feat to get the strikethrough. Or maybe you have to take the THF line of feats and then the new Single Weapon Specialty feat to get the attack speed increase?

I don't know, I've never tried either of those two methods.

I know that you can get SWF and TWF by taking the SWF feats first and then taking Ranger levels to auto-grant TWF. I don't think there's any class which autogrants THF or SWF though.

Take the swf line all the way up and then take two handed specialty at 31. The feat alone gives you 140% strike through, plus whatever else you can stack up, swinging with the speed of swf. It's fun.

Well I don't expect you charged for it. Gave it up for free most likely, to someone you don't know, who you met on the internet.

Pimp isn't the word you are looking for.
