Seriously, why is it over 15 years since Titan Grip are we still getting 1-hand weapon rewards from Vault and other sources? Even if you are spec’d into 1-handers they are a dps loss from the loss of stats. So we are forced to use Arms loot spec which has different stat priorities. If you go the crafted route then it takes up to 8 weeks to get enough sparks (and 1000 valorstones) to make 2 2-hand weapons. Where as everyone else just has to make a single weapon (up to 4weeks) and can move on to other pieces.

Set your loot spec to Arms. Your loot spec won’t affect the stats you get on gear.

Single-minded fury is a thing you know.
Some players (such as myself) enjoy it.

At least 2H Frost and TG Fury have an alternate 2H-only DPS spec to set to. SMF and DW Frost have to leave it as Fury/Frost and just sort of hope they get 1H drops instead of 2H.
Because Fury uses one or two handed weapons.
Your preferred stat priority is not something the game cares about. Setting loot spec to arms won’t adjust the stat weights on each piece of gear, only removes one-handed weapons from the list of used items.
If you choose to craft 2, 2-handed weapons, you need four sparks. That is the same for everyone. It also has nothing to do with loot drops in the least.

Yeah. I got Best-in-Slots in my timeless bag and against in vault (along with another 2h) as Frost. I don’t need weapons, but still. Brutal.
Switch loot spec to unholy if you don’t want to receive 1-handed weapons.
I prefer the 1h aesthetic, they really need to buff them (without requiring a talent).
That’s not how stats on gear work in this game xD
Not sure if you’re talking about Fury or Frost, but if you’re talking about Frost, I don’t know why anyone would genuinely want to have to find two weapons.
I go 2H because one, I like 2H it just looks cooler IMO, but most importantly, you only need 1 instead of 2 weapons. Makes gearing way easier.
For me it’s a preference thing. I prefer to use 2 2-handers for my warrior, even though it can be a pain to snag what I need. It’s worth the pain for me. Just set your loot spec to Arms if you don’t want to see 1-handers.
Now, if only spellcasters had that option so that they’d never see 1H/OH.
Spellcasters have it even worse because any other class in the game sticks to one type of weapons, while spellcasters can use the two interchangeably.
So, if you’re using a staff and a 1H drops and you don’t have an OH or your OH is too out of date to consider using?
You might as well not gotten a drop at all, because you can’t even use it until you do find an OH.
At least, a Fury or Frost using 1Hs can just replace one of their 1Hs with whatever dropped.
Also, Fury/Frost/Enhance can swap their weapons between hands, while 1H/OH is… well, you have to use one in its designated hand.
So if you get a nice 1H weapon… and another 1H weapon drops… again, you’re screwed as a spellcaster but if you’re a melee, you’re fine. You can use both at the same time.
That would be nice. yeah. I actually despise using 1-handers and off-hands on my casters.
I was talking about Fury, but I do prefer dual wield Frost because you get more Killing Machine procs (which come from auto attack crits) outside of Pillar of Frost.
