Two handed weapons change

Just want to say that as much as I love this change, I feel like it will make dual wield spell casters irrelevant. The destro staff passives are far better for mag over dual wield last passive for damage and the only reason I would dual wield as a caster is to take advantage of 5-5-2 set combos which after patch I no longer have to worry about. Agree?

    Yes. It also takes away one of the stam healers advantages - being able to heal with dw for 2 5pc sets + monster.

    It doesn't take it away from anyone still wanting to do it.

    I do see it becoming virtually obsolete for magicka builds to run DW.

    ..I feel like it will make dual wield spell casters irrelevant...

    As opposed to what now? lol
    They've been completely useless since the sustain patch. Its doable and some people still cling to it, but there isn't actually any advantage other than the 2nd set bonus anymore, which isn't worth gimping yourself for.

    And the problem is?

    So the change should be abandoned because its... inconvenient?

    the only ones who still do are bomb blades who have goldened their weapons.
