in t1

choppa - dual wield
slayer - 2h

at high levels i remember seeing some slayers dual wielding due to double procs(?) but rarely a 2h choppa
just observations, don't have lots of experience with them

Imo in T1 both slayer and choppa 2hander, because of deathblow/weakling killa.

In T4 dualwield for slayer, as it has both high single target and aoe damage: http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=sla ... ;;0:0:0:0:

dual wielding on most melee dps grants 10% parry may not be working atm it all depends on yr playstyle and what you want to do.

As Slayer ID and Warpforge / Doom procs aren't a factor I think 2h is better. Don't think AA damage is better than Deathblow

in original WH i used tactic Power through at high levels - when i get full rage, i used just exhaustive blows. Lot of times, i seen, that opponent is surprised, that after first that blow comes second and third...most time after 3th strike opponent just start to run :)
2handed

that build would boost better dps with 2h, cos 2h have higher wep dps and when you aoe you do not use auto attack, but dual weild give you 10% more parry and that's what it's important, when you alredy have rampage

I would go defenitely for 2H in T1 if you want damage especialy with slayer/choppa with theyr exhaustive attacks.

Either is viable and potent. WK has a big hit but also yields less damage after as you drop rage
