2 handed weapons and gear sets

Xnemesis

Has anyone heard of any discussion to make 2 handed weapons count as two pieces for gear sets? As it is right now dual wield and one hand shield can have one more piece towards gear sets? I know its wishful thinking but figured I would ask.

Xnemesis

maybe they can make this a weapon trait for two handed weapons only?

Wont happen. As a long time user of 2h for my hunter, the greater damage you get is meant to offset the bonus of a double. Now having said that.... yes this game probably needs to push the difference in damage for 2h (and yes that includes bow).

I say "people" in the loosest sense of the word

They could <prepares flame shield> make it so the off-hand slot provides no set bonus <ducks>. It is a pretty big advantage, especially with the new set bonuses.

well you also take more damage being in melee their are always checks and balances. I would really like to know if this seems like a good change or not.

I know this is kind of a necro-bump but I didn't want to start a new thread on the same topic when one already existed. Considering that this game's combat mechanic is so heavily tied to set gear, it is a bit of a weird thing that casters, bow users and 2h wep users will always be heavily limited.

I mean, yes, the maelstrom and masters weapons exist, but those exist for DW too. Saying this as a person who mains a DW/Bow character, here's what I see:

On my dual wield bar, you have 7 gear slots, 3 jewelry slots and 2 weapon slots. This allows for a 2 piece monster helm and two 5 piece bonuses. This means I can run dreugh king slayer, kena, and hundings all at once.

On my bow bar, I lose that second 5 piece hundings bonus in addition to the reduction of damage from swapping to my ranged weapon.

On my casters, they're limited to a 5 piece bonus, a 4 piece bonus and a 2 piece monster helm. Seems a little bit slanted in the direction of DW, does it not?

I thought dual weild was split? Like whatever bonus you get from 2h you get 50% of that with each dual weapon which works out the same. No?
