Just one handed?

Can we get some perks for just using a one hander please?
Using a one hander only raises one hand and shield, but the abilities are not usable.

i know its been asked before, but still..

    1h weapons are literally useless unless paired with another one. Because we only have trees for Dual Wield and One Hand And Shield. Making a tree for One Hand only would technically be useless.

    Hmm i think only reason anyone would use just a one handed weapon was to use unarmed abilities with the other hand and there are no unarmed abilities

    If you could punch or grapple then perhaps it would make sense.

    To implement it would be really strange and I am not sure the games mechanics can handle it.

    I doubt this is going to happen.
    However, the only possible way to make it happen, is to do what many already asked for.

    Remember in Skyrim, when you could equip 1 hand a weapon and one hand a spell?

    That needs a own weapon skill line in my opinion, and it should be a "magicka melee one".

    The weapon could decide about passives just like with DW (ignore spellres/higher spelldmg/higher spellcrit) and the off hand could decide about what elemental type your abilities are, similar to how Destro Staves work.

    "Game mechanics cant handle it" ?

    Dude, you can already wield a sword in one hand and nothing in the other, i just want a skill tree that works with it.

    Simple active abilities like:
    • Puncture
    • Slash
    • Throw dirt
    • Block & Bash
    • Kick

    And some passives like
    • Decrease stamina cost for one hand only abilities
    • Increase critical rating (or smth)
    • Increase spell damage (because we want that other hand for spells anyway)
    • Run faster! (because we carry less)
