dude, dual is not equal a pole-arm, you're delusional at best. You are using 2 equally "out of date" weapons with a lower damage output and smaller KD chance in comparison to bakarma. I know you been blabbing on about this whole dual-wield thing since you climbed your way out of your mother but give youself a break >< Sometimes even wonder if you're just the best troll online with all this nonsense ><
And before you come back and say about 3.0 being the death of bakarma, it isn't, its still used. Now for the sake of argument lets say "it is the death of bakarma" - are you seriously gonna go waste time grinding and enchanting two duel wield weapons to have a smaller ranger (2 vs 3) and smaller KD chance all over again?
DW is actually going to be superior to pole in 3.0 onward since you can have two godstones (you take 2x para off course since silence+kd/aether hold wont be viable anymore) and you deal more crit damage with it. The pvp will look like this: cleave - great cleave - new cleave - whirling strike (anything that can be used at long range) - switch to bow (melee only during para proc) and for this DW is clearly superior.
Hell at the moment pole glads kill with burst during KD (crippling cut - draining blow - final strike), this wont be possible anymore because KD knocks people out of your melee range when you dont have extendable weapon.
And while bakarma may still be somewhat useful in 3.0 (vs undergeared people anyway), in 3.5 it will be 100% obsolete because of new manastones.
