Still not as good as 1H in Origins, as 1H+S tree gives you a sustained mode that also provides inmunity to knockdown and stun, with an additional defense bonus, for a much smaller tax of stamina. 1H Warriors can also stun, and have 2 skills with high chances of knockdown.

Unlike the 2HWarriors, they don't need to have multiple Sustained Skills to have good accuracy and protection, a good shield can make archers a joke, and being Templar makes mages a joke. Only advantage 2H have over 1H is the effectiveness against armor, but then again you just need a backstabbing Rogue and that is no longer a problem.

In DA2, believe me, the ones with the biggest problems with Arishok are DW Rogues. They can evade (sorta) his attacks with some talents, but just being close to him is enough for him to stab him and own the Rogue. And unlike Warriors, that can simply dash and then Crushing Blow to deal good damage, they need to stay close to him giving him many hits to deal good damage. And Rogues have less armor than Warriors, and Arishok's attacks are pretty unavoidable.
