They need to pin a statement to the forums: ZOS IS ALREADY THINKING ABOUT THIS. ONE HAND AND RUNE IS BEING DISCUSSED. THAT WILL BE ALL FOR NOW.

Ok, let's do it. BUT:

Since I have to farm for TWO weapons with the right traits, droprates on all 2H gear are halved.

Fair, no?

No, because you can use crafted one, also you can have 2 enchants and use different sets and traits.
I can agree, that crafting 2h would require more resourses tho.

Simple as it is: should or not?

Not - I'm strongly against it, because...

Because?

You can use a CRAFTED 2H as well, which won't be influenced by droprates, so my proposition still stands.

No, because nobody would duel wield if it did.

This argument popped here pretty often already.
I'll answer: so what?
Are you can breathe only if someone still using 2w or what? Sure you aren't, so why you are care?
The problem of damage output and "weaker" skills and whatever is a DESIGN problem and not any relevant to the number of sets items.
2w >>> 2h in PVE.
2h usable in PVP only because this skill line has: charge (not all classes has it), weapon dmg buff (the same) and spammable skill with in-build exection (2w doesn't have). Mostly because of this spammable strike - nothing else.
And this all is design problem, so ZOS can change it in some way.

And in the future patch weapon enchants becomes very strong and usable, so take your cry about 2w "weakness" and put it into the trash basket.

Still no any valid points against this change. Are you all playing this game or just like trolling at forums?

Voted for yes because there wasn't an 'Other'

I do think this is the fairest way of working it. It could even work the same as Robe and Breeches - you have the one visible part and another hidden set item that gives you the extra bonus. That way you'd keep the extra grind for the second set bonus so you're not getting it easier than DWers.

But there have been so many arguments about this issue on here that I've lost the will to hope!

Really, I'd be happy with a magical version of DW (tho I realise that'd probably mean a new weapon and skill line so there's probably even less chance of that happening) so my poor Magplar doesn't have to use stam weapons for the extra bonus and completely miss out on a whole skill line and it makes regen a real faff

[Edited for typos]

I'm up for 1-hand magical weapons too (wands, chakrams etc) but chances for this even lesser than for 2h count as 2 pieces...

This would make mag even stronger than it is already. No just deal with it

Well they dooooo take up two slots, main hand and off hand, so technically both hands are occupied and should probably count...

It's a set item bonus not a set slot bonus.

And why the hell does the bow have same weapon damage as a dagger?!

This is an old debate that goes back to the very beginning of the game. Personally, I'm in favor of letting all six weapon types in ESO use both slots, but ZOS has never agreed to do it. So I doubt they ever will given that the debate goes back to beta days in late 2013 and has continued off and on ever since.

I just have never understood why four of the six weapon types in the game can't use both slots. I've read all the arguments in favor of keeping it this way, but not a single one has persuaded me that denying use of both slots to two-thirds of the available weapons makes any sense whatsoever.

Oh, and to those who say a staff, bow or great weapon are one item, that's weakest argument about this issue. It would be so easy to create a scabbard, quiver, over-the-shoulder tie, etc., for these weapons to make two items. Heck, ZOS wouldn't even need to design such items. They could be invisible items like jewelry.

You're not going to like the nerf, if they do this....otherwise staff and 2h will be vastly superior to every other weapon set

Why? How? Is it because you get a set bonus while wielding one weapon with 2 hands? Instead of item set bonus, rename them slot set bonus or something else. Also, slightly reduce the base damage to these weapons so that they are more on par with other weapons. Staves should be one handed anyway as the character uses one hand to wield it. They should add crossbows, and then add runes/totems to carry as primary off hand weapons along-side shields.

I mainly pvp so I know that 2h is already a lot better than 2w so this would skew the balance even more.
Well in pve use what you like the monsters will go down. I dunno what to say, but to enable this would probably make things overall worse.
2h = pvp
2w = pve

... You're right but have you considered magic builds in this scenario... Because what you actually should be saying is two handed melee weapons are over performing ... Not 2h in general

I would say NO if they pushed 2h 2pc for no drawbacks.. Yes. Because new META.. dont forget about jewelry traits, This will compensate for DW.

@Night_Child u're responding to a post that was made almost a year ago.....

And? You misspelled "you're." The point is who cares? Moreover, people do it all the time.

Didn't read all the replies, so not sure if anyone has mentioned this, But........
It is a moot case as it has been confirmed by testers 2 wks ago that, YES, 2 hand IS going to count as 2 slots..
So debate is redundant. It done already.
