Since the 2H no longer deals more heavy or light attack damage than DW can we please make the 2H heavy attacks faster now?

Whether they double the 2h bonus (which would apply to staves too) or halve the DW bonus is functionally the same. Devs already want to pull in the reigns on DPS so it would make sense to nerf a little instead of buff. Plus, fewer DW skill line than 2h skill lines. Not sure what would to do about 1h & shield though... (Infused crusher would take a big nerf)1 -

Why nirn? Nirn on the main hand is the same value as nirn on a two hander, and nirn on the off hand is significantly less value considering the off hand only contributes like 20% of its tooltip damage to your actual weapon and spell damage stats. Nirn isn't the problem, the discrepancy between tooltip damage between two handed and dual wield is the problem, and it exists because of the off hand.2 -

Mathematically maybe, but you can only lower the tooltip of something by so much before it becomes irrelevant. Who cares what enchant you use when it only nets you eg a very tiny shield in pvp? No wonder only a few use such options. Now imagine how much people will care about enchants when you half their value.
It's better to buff up 2h enchants a bit than to lower dw. Doesnt have to be +100% strength. Can also be a lower cooldown or a mix of those, like a weaker infused.0 -

Yes the off hand is only adds 12 weapon damage with nirn. That is why infused is used on the off hand. With the upcoming changes, you will have near perfect up time on ~800 extra weapon damage. They need to havf the enchant and nirn AND infused on one handed weapons. This will make it more fair and give a reason more incentive to run an ice staff back bar on a tank.0 -

Because the nirn trait on mainhand gives the full bonus (same bonus 2h gets), AND DW gets infused on the offhand - a full value infused. So DW has two full traits, when clearly it is should work like sharpened, precise, defending, etc which each gives half value for 1h weapons.3 -

This makes me wonder if it would be beneficial to go with unenchanted nirnhoned main-hand weapon and infused enchanted off-hand and benefit fully from this...
Anybody know if the enchant is guaranteed to proc on the off-hand when the main-hand doesn't have an enchantment, like the main-hand enchant on weapons is normally guaranteed?
I smell an easy exploit of intended game mechanics, which they shouldn't punish players ever for as it is within their power to correct and fast. Move it or lose it, devs.Edited by Mystrius_Archaion on September 28, 2018 4:38AM0 -

Next patch, all damaging weaponing ablitys will proc off cooldown on a single attack, like rending Slashs. No need to do what you are saying, put a disease/absorb stamia on your main hand and infused berzerk off hand and you will have the main hand enchant going off every 4 seconds and your berzerk every 5. No light attacks needed. This is too strong.0 -

*They don't need to touch enchants at all. They can come with a new weapon type that give 2 hander crit bonus, and maybe rework a bit the 2 hander passives. 2 hander firestaff doesn't have double enchant either but still competitive, because of the passives in destruction staff skill line.

#keepdiversityalive
What does dual wield need a gap closer for? It has a 28 meter spammable, in a melee skill tree. That has a snare and gives you major brutality. The same skill does does 40% more damage for 25% less stam AND next patch, will proc BOTH enchantments from your weapons. From outside the gap closers range you hold in such high praise. Not to mention, gap closers are COMPLETELY useless in pve. AND there is morph of that dual wield skill that is so good for pve, it is use as the spammable for dual wield users over the ACTUAL spammable.
Things can be diverse, while still being similar in functionality. Dual wield enchantments are simply too strong in the next patch, putting two handers at a huge, more then now, disadvantage

✭✭Really, folks, you've started with "2H attacks take forever and are impossible to land" and ended with "let's make DW share our misery". That's constructive how exactly?
And by the way, having two staves with single enchant on both doesn't seem to prevent magicka (see those magblade parses) pull damage in line with stamina (which is suppose to be high risk high reward playstyle). DW does well, staves do well despite single enchant, only 2H falls behind - I don't know where the conclusion "let's nerf DW" came from.1
