Dual-Wield vs Two-Handed vs 1H + Shield

[Busa27]

Hello, Two-Handed weapon looked like the best option and most popular one in PoE 1 but I have the feeling that this has changed in PoE Deadfire and Dual-Wield is probably the best option now for DPS. I would like to know what do you think about it guys.

Dual Wield - for dps

Shield - for tanking

2h - some aoe but less damage than duals, slow

1h - fishing for crits, primary attack skills

 

I think dual wield is still the best and most popular. 1h no shield is more viable than in Pillars 1 imo.
