Beastlord Weapon Choices

Hi everyone, I've recently joined SoD and have started a Beastlord. I've played Pally, Cleric and Necro for a few years on live but have never really focused much on a class that dual wields(when I did I would usually twink with a 2handed weapon or weapon choices were obvious at the time).

I've been having a hard time deciding which weapons to use in mainhand and offhand. Is there a rule of thumb to determine which weapon should go in each hand for maximum DPS? Is there a rule of thumb to compare the effectiveness of dual wielded weapons versus 2handers? I've parsed but seeing as there are so many variables at the lower levels and DPS is so low that I haven't really been able to come to a definitive conclusion on the best setup.

If anyone can give me any advice or refer me to any threads that contain the basics it would be much appreciated.

Also if anyone has any key/standout weapons that they can suggest I purchase, camp or quest for as I progress that would also be awesome.

Thanks for any input.

You want the best ratio possible. So if your 2hander is you best ratio use that, same for your 1handers.
Also, druid/beastlord is an insanely good box, good choice.
Sorry I don't have any recommendations of which weapons to get.
 
As has been said, best ratio possible is always the best choice, with the better ratio going in the mainhand obviously. The nonsense from live about a weapon with a big damage going in the offhand is bunk.

Good weapon choices for your range have already been stated, mithril and ghost/warpmetal are bar none the best value for your money up till your 50s, and they are cheap to boot. At that point you'll want to make sure to check the wiki for your bare hand damage values; once you get to 65 there are precious few buyable weapons that will perform better than your bare fists, especially if you equip elemental damage gloves.
