Few questions about this though...
- Would the mats to craft a 2h be increased to that of crafting 2 x 1h?
- Would the amount of tempers be doubled at each stage to upgrade a 2h (ie 16 gold tempering alloy, etc)?
- Would the drop rate of 2h weapons from vMA, dungeons, etc be cut in half? (have to farm for 2 weapons if DW, not for 2h
I'm not saying it shouldn't but folks need to consider other things in the game.
Actually the better way for them to achieve this would be by making all the monster shoulders into a cape item only available in the monster sets low defense item like a belt. You could then use a normal shoulder that would be the right way to balance it.

one example of many...
body
two piece monster
4 pc clever alchemist
1 pc viper or any drop set
jewels
3 pc viper or any drop set
weapons
attack bar - greatsword of viper
buff/util/other bar - greatsword of clever alche
When on attack bar have 2pc monster, 5 pc viper and 4pc alche ready.
When on back/buff bar - have 2 p monster, 4 p viper and 5pc clever
Being a "clever" sort, when your potions come up, you swap to buff bar (as part of your sequence) and do buffs and drink potion which uses the clever 5pc.
Swap back to main bar - and have fun... viper at 5pc, monsters at 2pc all 4pc of clever doing their thing and the 5pc bonus from clever still running for 15s.
The key to this and quite a few other builds is - that clever 5pc bonus only comes up for trigger every 45s or so and runs on its own even when you swap bars for a good time (15s) which means you are getting the full benefit of it even using a 2h build.
During that 45s of time between potioins that sets 5pc bonus is either running or useless regardless of which bar you are on so you are getting all the bonuses of the 5-5-2 sets PLUS the 2H weapon skill line.
Have cake, eat it.
This means 2H/bow/staff users should be looking at different set choices than DW if they want to optimize the "both 5pc bonuses going at once" thing.
this is "basic set choice 101" or maybe "201"... once you graduate into maelstrom or master weapon sets ("301?") - it become irrelevant.
having 2h weapons count set counts the same in spite of the obvious reasons not to and edges cooked into their make-up would just kick that whole "This means 2H/bow/staff users should be looking at different set choices than DW" toi the curb in the interest of more sameness.
I say again...
The journey to more diversity does not begin by asking the GPS to "find more sameness."
(I think now this quote was from Lincoln or Twain - but could be wrong.)

If they did this they had better buff stam some more aswell.

You have an ignore list you can use, so yep.
Have you really been joined in these forums for almost two years without knowing that you have an ignore list or was this just a way to sidewise gripe about me?

Actually I didn't know there was an ignore list. No one has really inspired me to use it lol. I don't have an issue with you disagreeing with me; several do. What I can't stand is your consistent wall of fluff as a response to everyone's statement/question. Don't take it personal though, I have very little patience for people that ramble in real life as well.
