I was playing the game in between the random shut downs my PC's been suffering from lately when the crazy idea struck me that I just had to share.
When it comes to set pieces, Dual Wielding just has an incredible advantage in that you can get more of the set real easily since all you gotta do is craft a second sword, leaving two handed weapons and anything not a sword and board in the dust when it comes to that particular advantage.
To that end my crazy and probably terrible yet possibly good idea is to have unique pieces of equipment that match weapons that use two hands to hold, that can be crafted, and of course, made to acquire set pieces. Like reliquaries, librams, whatever have you of those sorts of things. Below are the obvious examples:
Bow and Arrow - Quivers. Not sure what it would do, but I'd imagine really minor *** for this and all others, and I do mean minor, like 5% haste or armor pen, etc.
Two Handed Melee - Bracer or Hilt Wrapping.
Resto Staff - Holy Relics.
Destro Staff - Spell Books/Relics.
Actually, that's it isn't it. Sword/Shield and Dual Wielding have the obvious advantage of "Holy *** there's two of them!" so why shouldn't the others have something similar but minor too? Or Should I just go take my meds and quietly return to my corner?
Bobbity Boop, this game might become poop, but I'll still play because I'm just a pile of goop!
