Two Handed weapons should count as two towards a set bonus.

Am I the only one who finds it a little unfair that you can craft a shield and a weapon, or two weapons and have it count as two towards a swt bonus.

Yes.

Nobody thinks its unfair that one weapon is not two weapons.

Why not just make all the weapons the same with no differences or drawbacks to any of them. Why should obly bows and staves have range attacks? Why can't i get magicka back for heavy attacks with 2H? Ugh, come on people learn to be different!

If anyone ever wanted to look up the definition of "Strawman argument", don't bother 'cause there it is.

GW2 eventually changed their system so 2 handed weapons could count towards 2 bonuses and guess what? It just lead to better diversity, and the sky didn't even fall!

Light Armor users have the staves to complement their high resource pools and need for CCs and shields to live.

Medium Armor users have Bows and Dual Wield with burst range and strong Melee best used with high mobility

Heavy Armor users have Two Handed weapons and One hand and Shield to compensate for the lower damage and higher need of defense

Any and all buff and nerf to weapons need to keep the viable for their respective or more types and game architect play style and viable for their respective armor types.

Nerfing Two Handed cause medium armor users make better use of it is like nerfing dual wield cause casters get more spell damage with two swords.

Nope, still not making sense.

Who gave you the idea that Two-Handed was made for Heavy Armor users?

They should. They double the bonuses from enchants and traits. They should do the same for item sets as well.

Yes, they should, please make it so, ZOS.

Just to add a little bit of fuel to the fire... If you craft a Sword with the Training trait, it will have a base of +49% to Training. If you craft a Bow or a Staff, it will have a base of +98% to Training. It would then stand to reason that given that logic, that the two-handed weapons do indeed represent two slots, and should thus grant the same two slots towards set bonuses. Just my two cents.

In game NPCs follow that architect along with the fight at the entire Elder scrolls series has been that same play style
