With the unveiling of a new expansion with a whole new class, I feel like now would be a good time to talk about something that has bothered me for a long time now. In order to be effective at DPS, magicka builds (at least the magicka DK, which I am most familiar with) need to wield dual swords for the damage bonus. It seems strange to me that in order to use magicka most effectively, we are forced to use melee weapons. This impairs the magicka build's effectiveness with light and heavy attacks, as well as prevents them from slotting weapon skills (if they aren't a hybrid build). It also means that heavy attacks restore stamina instead of magicka, and for a mag DK, this is a very real problem, as our sustain already sucks. But perhaps this a problem exclusive to mag DKs as I am not familiar with many end game builds of other magicka classes. I've definitely seen every magicka class at some point with dual swords, so I assume it's at least common enough. So I think that with the coming expansion, it would be nice to see a rebalancing of weapons (or an addition of a new magicka-based weapon) that prevents magicka users from having to rely on stamina-based weapons. Thoughts?

(and don't just tell me to slot resto/destro staff on my back bar for sustain. I already do that lol)
