A 2h sword with same speed as a 2h bw would need exactly 10% more TOTAL weapon attack.
That is, if you have 140 weapon attack (115 watk sword, 10 atk wg, 3 atk cape, 12 atk potions), you need a 129 weapon MORNINGSTAR (due to speed-efficiency) in order to compensate. For comparing a 2h sword and a 1h bw with same speed, you'll need 17% more TOTAL weapon attack:
So, if you have 140 weapon attack, and 115 is from that sword, you'll need a TOTAL of 23.8 ~= 24 more attack in order to beat it. That refers to either a 129 skull and a 10 attack shield or more.
Now, that's good news for ye! However, keep in mind that if you add in 5 more TOTAL attack, that would mean you have 145 total weapon attack, and an additional 25 weapon attack for sword-compensating. Which now equals to a whooping 135 attack skull + 10 atk shield. And it goes on that way, even if you don't increase the sword's attack.

Code:
(STR * 4.4 + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack
4.4 * 0.6 * (1 + 0.9 * 0.6) * 0.5 = 2.0328
(STR * 3.2 + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack
3.2 * 0.4 * (1 + 0.9 * 0.6) * 0.5 = 0.9856
Avg multiplier: 3.0184
(STR * 4.6 + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack
4.6 * 0.5 * (1 + 0.9 * 0.6) = 3.542
avg multiplier: 3.542
Following equation shows roughly how much watk one needs to compensate for the multiplier loss:
STR * 3.542 / 100 * watk = STR * 3.0184 / 100 * (watk + x)
where x is the watk-boost:
3.542 * watk = 3.0184 * (watk + x) // Shortening
3.542 / 3.0184 * watk = watk + x
1.17 * watk = watk + x
0.17 = x
x = 0.17
thus. you need 17% more weapon attack with a weapon of SAME SPEED.So, if you have 140 weapon attack, and 115 is from that sword, you'll need a TOTAL of 23.8 ~= 24 more attack in order to beat it. That refers to either a 129 skull and a 10 attack shield or more.
