2 handed weapons and gear sets

Has anyone heard of any discussion to make 2 handed weapons count as two pieces for gear sets? As it is right now dual wield and one hand shield can have one more piece towards gear sets? I know its wishful thinking but figured I would ask.

    they totally should. i support this thread
    There is only one god and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: “Not today...”

    "We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang. There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La."

    Wont happen. As a long time user of 2h for my hunter, the greater damage you get is meant to offset the bonus of a double. Now having said that.... yes this game probably needs to push the difference in damage for 2h (and yes that includes bow).

    I say "people" in the loosest sense of the word :D

    They could <prepares flame shield> make it so the off-hand slot provides no set bonus <ducks>. It is a pretty big advantage, especially with the new set bonuses.

    well you also take more damage being in melee their are always checks and balances. I would really like to know if this seems like a good change or not.

    I know this is kind of a necro-bump but I didn't want to start a new thread on the same topic when one already existed. Considering that this game's combat mechanic is so heavily tied to set gear, it is a bit of a weird thing that casters, bow users and 2h wep users will always be heavily limited.

    I mean, yes, the maelstrom and masters weapons exist, but those exist for DW too. Saying this as a person who mains a DW/Bow character, here's what I see:

    On my dual wield bar, you have 7 gear slots, 3 jewelry slots and 2 weapon slots. This allows for a 2 piece monster helm and two 5 piece bonuses. This means I can run dreugh king slayer, kena, and hundings all at once.

    On my bow bar, I lose that second 5 piece hundings bonus in addition to the reduction of damage from swapping to my ranged weapon.

    On my casters, they're limited to a 5 piece bonus, a 4 piece bonus and a 2 piece monster helm. Seems a little bit slanted in the direction of DW, does it not?

    I thought dual weild was split? Like whatever bonus you get from 2h you get 50% of that with each dual weapon which works out the same. No?

    Hello everyone,

    This post is to let you know that we've felt it necessary to put this thread to rest, as it seemed to have died long ago. At this time we'd like to try and keep Draugr threads from roaming around front page, pushing down newer and more lively threads. Please feel free to create a newer thread on the matter if you would like to continue the discussion, or if possible find a more recent thread on the topic :smile:

    Thank you for understanding.
