Depends on your legendary choices... pulverize is 2 hand, rest 1h + totem imo

I’m new to druid only level 30 but why 1 hand? Isn’t the dps of 2 hand significantly higher?

It basically adds the 1-h and totem dps together so the base damage is the same as a 2h setup as far as I can tell.

The actual reason is for the double CDR rolls you can get in totem and a lucky hit roll. For that 100% uptime if Grizzly rage/dire wolf. But that was before cdr got a heavy nerf.

This is still meta though
