OK, the content in the update is awesome, the world is awesome, Jewelry Crafting is a long time coming, but the best thing I think about the new update is the 2 Handed Weapons (Staves and Bows included) now count as two slots, so we have 12 Equipment slots for bonuses. In other words, 5+5+2.

Now, all my casters can use a monster set without compromising the second piece.

So, discuss what combos your going to try out on your characters now with this huge change in how we can equip our characters.

    Going to change things a lot that's for sure.

    I like it in some ways, dislike it in others. I guess I shouldn't complain as it's a buff to my MagBlade though.

    2H will be two pieces?

    And staves?


    If I don't edit this, people won't stop wasting time replaying (and obviously no one bothers to read the other posts).

    OP even edited to make things absolutely clear.

    Nestor went to ZOS to playtest.

    I'm really excited about this. So many changes here that streamline the game or make more builds viable. Gonna hold off on final judgment until I get on the PTS, but I'm looking forward to PAX!

    @mzprx ZOS. Nestor was one of those who went to ZOS for the Summerset Playtest. Others who were there are reporting the same.

    Ah, I was in shock, "2 Handed Weapons" I immediately translated with 2H, it means literally all 2 handed, I hope.

    Still in shock, wasn't expecting this. Quite the big news and utmost welcome.

    That was my first question as well. How will this work with 2H 1-piece sets like Maelstrom and Asylum weapons?
    Will they get a buff to make up for the lost set piece?

    YES!! Been asking for this for a long time. I've always said that everyone should have access to 5+5+2 and that everything else should be balanced around that. Thank you, ZOS!

    I used some of these during the playtest and no, they are not worthless, just you have more build choices.

    I have mixed feelings about this. In one way, I’m happy for all those Sorc and 2H builds who have been waiting for this for ages, but I’m also concerned that it may make certain classes a bit overpowered. It’s not too big of a deal for me since I don’t PVP, but I’m sure some tears will flow.

    I'm not really sure how I feel about this. One thing is for certain though, this will force many players to rework their builds. PvP and PvE. I'm curious how this will be balanced.

    Also, that means if you want to use dual wield you have to pay double the mats than for a 2h, for the same result.
