Off-hand Option

Ethromelb14_ESO

Can we get a feature that allows our off-hand weapon or shield to be made invisible for players that really wanted to play as a single sword character? And since there is no skill line for a players strictly using only a one-handed sword, we're FORCED to play with what's available. I thought you guys were all about that proverbial freedom of expression. We already have it for helmets ... can we keep it going?

I'd prefer they just add a one-hand skill line. I'm sure the PvP guys wouldn't be fond of the idea of hiding a weapon.

They'd have to introduce a new and separate 1 handed skill tree for that because 1h&shield is literally based around the shield. It's the tanky option, you block with the shield, charge with the shield, bash with the shield...it's pretty easy to hide helmets because they have no individual animations tied to them but how would you imagine s&b blocking to work without a (visible) board?
Besides, shields look pretty damn awesome

I would love to see two more weapon skill lines in that regard... (well, I would love to see more then two, but only two that are relevant in this discussion)

One-handed and Ranged (with offhand options like javelins, throwing axes, throwing knives, shuriken, darts, etc. - pretty much like those javelin-throwing NPCs in Wrothgar, a mix of close range weapon strikes and mid range offhand throwing attacks)

One-handed and Magic (with offhand wand or runestone and a mix of elementally charged melee strikes and mid-range & AoE magic attacks)

Those would make a really nifty addition to the game, and allow playing as one-handed duellist (just use the smallest shuriken as offhand, and slot only the melee attacks...)

I would love an off hand and magic skill line. I'm dying to be a true spellsowrd.

Sure. As long as I can see from my point of view that you hold a shield or a dual sword, hence I will anticipate your skills, it does not affect me.
