So at first i was thinking, why not just add pole-arms to the game and put them under the 2 handed weapon class? Then, I thought why not make a Hybrid (dps/tanking) skill line. A weapon class that does less damage than 2 handed, and does not offer all the benefits of 1 hand and shield, but meets the middle ground for each. It's just a suggestion, and pole-arms tend to be my favorite weapons so i would love to see them implemented here in some way.

Here is just a basic outline of what i would like to see.

(level 1 character no weapon in hand)
