Why don't we have 2h DAGGERS YET?

funny way of calling something a spear o.O

2H dagger = two-handed Falchion, Scimitar

ZOS killed my Khajiit 2H weapon user by changing Khajiit weapon crit into crit damage, so I hope we will get a 2H crit weapon, too.

Completely not okay excluding people who are dagger mains from using that weapon.

When can we see this implemented Zeminax?

You should totally ask for 2 handed shields next! Why does a mag DK tank need a silly sword? ONE HANDED STAFF AND 2 HANDED SHIELDS NOW!

I'm imagining how funny it would look to see 2h weapon animations, the way they strain to lift and swing the weapon with all their might but holding just a dagger. LOL

Spear would be nice.

I could see a new 2H variant, maybe a katana style, that gives a crit bonus. But daggers are kind of defined by their small size and weight and do not make sense with a two-handed grip.

2H dagger = spear... pointy sharp stabbing thing on a stick...

InvictusApollo

Two handed dagger? So basically a sword?

Or maybe a spear? That would make more sense.

just put 5% crit into the passives, like they do with bows. put it on followup, that passive is useless.

People say spears, but those are quite unsuited to the design and animation of the 2H skills. Like how does Wrecking Blow, or Executioner make sense with what is essentially a knife on a stick? Not to mention that there's an overlap with the Templar class design and identity which is build around spears.

It would be nice to have a different skill line altogether for Pikes, Halberds, Spears, Naginatas etc. But that is a lot of work and would need changes to Templar class as well, not mention balancing for PvP and PvE contents. And it's different from what OP is asking which is a 2H weapon with crit chance keeping the current skills and passives.

I think they missed a trick by merging different types of weapons in one category. War Scythes and Glaives are under BattleAxes whereas they could have been a separate 4th type of 2H weapon to keep it even between 1h and 2h choices and making sure they all have the same available bonuses cross both types.

However that's a lot of work for them now. If they split say War Scythes from Battle Axes they need to go and add a new weapon style for every single motif type (are we on 80+ now?). All just so they can add an extra conditional passive for crit chance. What's the pay off for ZOS to do all this work? I just don't see it happening.
