now whats the best way to buy this? 1 of each, or whats the difference if i buy 2 cleavers instead of a cleaver and a hacker?
this is gonna cost me a TON of honor, so i wanna be sure (and yes i know 2 handed weapon s have better stats, i just like 1 handed weapons cuz the animation look bada$$)
please explain. Thanks kindly

"One-Hand" means that they can be used in either hand.
"Main-Hand" and "Off-Hand" mean that they can only be used in those respective hands.
The difference are Warriors and Rogues. Combat Rogues need fast offhands for energy generation while Warriors need fast off hands for rage generation (if I'm not mistaken). The slow main hands are for using special abilities. If you have a slow main hand, chances are that it'll have high top-end damage so abilities like Hemo will do more damage than if the weapon has a low top-end damage (like fast weapons).
What does this all mean for Hunters? Nothing. We don't need to pay attention to weapon speed or anything. I don't doubt that we use melee weapon specifically for thier stats. My reccomendation; get the Cleaver in your main-hand at least. If you want, get it in your off-hand too. But since they have the same stats, it doesnt really matter which one you get.
