I had an Idea before One Tamriel of weapons or shields that would let you use other weapon skills. Example: A shield that would let you use skills out of the Resto staff line, A Dagger that would let you cast out of the destro staff line, A 2 hander that would let you block and use one hand and shield skills and passives.
Everyone I've talked to thought this would be a great idea. Imagine tanking and not having to swap out your shield for that one resto skill you need. But I fear now, with weapon ultimates, that this would break balance, But you could easily make it where weapon ultimates could only be used with the proper weapon. I think it would add a lot more variety to the game. Seeing a special two hander being able to flurry! A tank, not getting crushed the second he had to swap to a staff... Once again, these would be proper epic drops with a very rare trait that allowed one tree access. I think I gave enough examples to get your mind flowing. What do you think of this idea?
