New Magicka Melee Dual-Wield Weapons/SkillLine

SHOW · April 2016

Many magicka players (myself included) go dual-wield for the additional spell power and set bonus piece, yet never use a single dual-wield ability... Seems like we're missing an fun opportunity here.

Get creative people:
If there were magicka dual wield weapons and skill line...

What would the Weapons look like? Two half-staves? Magical Nunchucks? lol

What Skills could there be? Melee? (Since staff is range)?

Useless considering how many options magicka users already have.

Are more options not better?

That being said I'd rather make staff more useful than DW.

I'd really like to stray from running around with silly little twigs in my hands thank you very much, the staff is annoying enough.

Spectral daggers would be a nice addition.

The solution is simple: Use a different Weapon. Don't want to because of the lesser stats? Then don't complain because you don't use Weapon Skills when you're not even running Dual Wield for said skills in the first place.

I would say that there are plenty of options for magicka types already.

I would also say that using dual-wield in a magicka build is a tangent much like 2H or S&B with magicka. If you were to push on those then you would blur the line between a stamina build and a magicka build. I would imagine that ZoS is strongly against that one, especially considering all of the stamina advocates on the forums lately. Gotta have that class/playstyle seperation.

Nice idea though. More of an idea for a new character class, though, all-in-all.

That in mind, I would love a spellsword class or something of the sort. Maybe conjured weapons specialist? Something like the Templars aedric spear except with different skill lines for different conjured weapon types?

Or, we could get the passive by having staffs on both bars?

Make a NB and just slot NB abilities, most are magical knife type animations already.
