You understand that 4 is less then 5 ? If you do then you understand the problem. If you dont then nvm no point in arguing with you about this.

But what if the case was 4 boxes instead of 5 boxes, and the 4 boxes had enough stuff in them that they had almost as much stuff as the 5 boxes? This is what were dealing with, and this is what people are bringing up. 2h weapons have increased damage and increased passive boosts to compensate for the lack of 2 weapons, 2 enchants, extra set bonus, etc. If there is still an imbalance, it is minimal due to these boosts already in place.

I personally don't believe that weapons are balanced enough as is that they are perfect...far from it. I still would like to see other melee options outside of DW as viable. But going back to the original point...just adding the extra set bonus to 2h would make 2h so powerful they'd need to rebalance all 2h weapons to compensate. since they are already boosted as is, it's better to just tweak them a bit.

This is why it's a dead horse. It has been brought up numerous times, the issue of balance has already been accounted for from a MECHANICS perspective...so changing those mechanics is a null point. The issue is fine tuning the system we already have in place.

Not sure what any of you are getting on about. With Summerset 2H weapons WILL COUNT for 2 slots so we will have 5/5/2 in every build.

Source, please?
Edit: also, if 2H weapons start counting as two slots sets, the build would actually be 5/5/4 (twelve slots, two of which count double). The 5/5/2 ones are what we have now.

I can not imagine so many balance. This dead horse issue that nobody would see coming. Like some of us just don't believe. It's like eso suddenly got auction house.

Wait xD this funny how some wishes come true.

I mean that could work but you would lose out on a 4 piece and a five piece every time you swap bars. People won't build like that any more then they build around swapping 5 pieces right now. Personally I will be running a two hander on my Stam tank now, for forward momentum, I hate snares when I am tanking and for more weapon damage for vigor when I dont need forward momentum. My two handed stamsorc might swap out the master two-hander for a two handed vicious ophidian axe that I an glad I held on to now. And my warden tank will now use am ice staff or lightning, haven't decided yet.
