Even the wiki entry on warriors mentions preference for two-handed weapons. How about taking this a step further and making us the best at using two handed weapons:
Heavy weapons master
Warriors now have the innate talent to use two-handed weapons and polearms with one hand. Limited by strength bonus.
This would not allow TWC with two two-handed weapons but would allow shield use and TWC with a one-handed weapon in the offhand.
Supplemental CMAN:
Heavy weapon mastery
Can now dual wield two handed weapons. Strength bonus added to agility and dexterity bonus for all roundtime reduction calculations.
...I could also see your idea being really fun if added to berserk, Borderlands 2 style, even though I think it's still too much pushing us in one direction. Something like we can use two handed weapons one handed while berserking and we have equal training in all weapon styles (including ranged).
This suggestion was targeted at THW i'll to try think of some others and I agree that the main concern with the suggestion is the lack of a downside but prefer to get the concept across first for discussion. Potential limitations could be additional negative RT modifiers, ambush penalty, Parry DS/chance penalty, weapon sizes limited by strength bonus, stamina regen penalty, DF penalty, etc. I think this could definitely be balanced with one/some of these given Paladins can already boost their DF, AS and flares to significant levels and Bards can basically be perma-hasted even while mstriking with high flare chances as well.
While I dont want to completely eliminate one handed weapons, poles or any other path I did want to allow warriors a distinct advantage by increasing access to heavy weaponry specifically. I do think something similar could be done for the other weapon styles to still offer advantages for each style for variety.
