Give Dual Wield a Gap Closer...

GawdSB

The complaint has been you want more weapon damage choose dual wield, you lose weapon damage as a penalty for have a 2h.

So, now that that is no longer a thing. Give dw a gap closer.

Couldn't you just use Silver Leash? Is it so bad as a gap closer? And doesn't every class has one in one of their skill lines?

Instead, make dual wield unique by making Quick Cloak remove slows, roots, and snares and lasts for 8 seconds like Forward Momentum and the speed boost from Quick Cloak lasts for 8 seconds too!

No, people will cry about how op dual weild is. Use ur class abilities ffs. That's what flying blade was intended to be. Asking for this will only bring more harm to pve.

silver leash is terrible btw. that could do with a fix, way too unresponsive and slow

Tryxus

Last thing we need is yet another gap closer >_>

No, or at least, not really. IIRC, DKs' is an ultimate. You can always drag people to you with grip, but that's really annoying for other players. Sorcs don't have a targeted gap close, and using streak as one has a fairly high skill floor. Honestly not sure about Templars. I mean, I'm pretty sure they have one, but I don't know how it works off hand.

Sure, but 2handers need to count as two set items.

KochDerDamonen

k, make 2h count as two set pieces and give it an effective singletarget DoT

It's weird. You moubt some spear thing and ride it like a bull. It misses 11 out of 10 times -.-

Run dw and SB and use shield charge. Everyone always wants all the best skills stacked into whatever class/setup their using lol.

Empowering Chains (Morph of Fiery Grip) - Pulls you to the enemy instead. You gain Empower, increasing the damage of your next attack.

Dual wield can have a gap closer the same day 2h gets a solid spammable for pve. And yes, I want this to happen so that I can finally use 2h in pve without my friends rightfully mocking me.

replace flurry and its morphs or the spin blades thingy - sounds like worth considering.

How about just a generic gap closer in the fighters guild skill line that actually works (I'm looking at you silver leash) so any build that wants a gap closer can have access if they don't already.

Only been asking for two years and they still aren't listening but hey you can now spends $100 on a mount and $150 on a unfurnished house, priorities.

Nah, dual wield is supposed to be the highest damage setup. It can't have everything. Instead make 2 handed weapons count as 2 pieces.

Because we need yet more gap closer snares. Yet people complain about sorc roots and class still. May we just hand you a "I win button"? Too many gap closer in this game as it it. No need for more. More so on a already super strong weapon set.

They won't do it because NBs synergies the best with DW which is why they are the only class to have a stam class gap closer.

It would go against the design philosophy of the classes'
NB = DW melee assassin
DK/ TEMPLAR = Sword and shield/ Two Handed Melee

Although they say 'play as you want' you really can't.

Stovahkiin

Or just get teleport strike if you're a nb, not hard, there is even a stam morph for it.

@Anti_Virus Sorry to tell ya, but every PvE stamina dps (who isn't entranced by 2H for visual/rp reasons) rocks DW. 2H is more of a PvP thing in general, plenty of people break that mold but... there's not really a design philosophy in these terms to "go against".

Also, Templar has a stamina gap closer. Sorcerer has the only minor expedition buff(and it's on a stamina spell)
