#52590, "Two handed spec"


          

Any interest ever in making a two handed warrior spec? Or would that bite 2hand pallys style too much?

Well, it's two things:

1) Warriors are the most customizable class in the game, so adding more options for them is wayyyyy down the priority list.

2) And, yeah, if I wanted to give them something else I'd probably go in a different direction. If I wanted to do more things with two-handed weapons I'd probably (for example) push mamlauks more in that direction before I'd do it to warriors.

Edit: that being said, I'm not totally opposed to, say, making Overhead or Deflect Shield or whatever do something interesting if you're two-handing a single axe/mace/whatever.

Increased damage based on strength and parry based on to your dexterity?

And another edge that lets an two handed axe disembowel better, overhead better, Weaponbreak better.

And another edge for two handed maces that lets you dent, deflect shield and cranial better.

Maybe a Felar edge for swords that let's them to turn their cross into a misdirect and their double thrust into a jab+ Assassinesque sidekick.

When a Felar is wielding a two-handed sword or a single handed sword and nothing in his/her off hand they gain the parry benefits of Florentine.

I agree on the mamlauks, that would be an amazing thing to play!! and yes, warriors are by far the most customizable class. More orc love please ORC ORC!!!!

IIRC this has only been confirmed for avenger paladins, but I've always been wondering if anyone who's wielding a two-handed weapon gets a small bonus to parry? It makes sense you'd parry a bit better with having both hands on the weapon, and also it'd be at least a small incentive to using a 2-handed weapon (sword/mace/axe/etc.) instead of dual wielding.

Anyway I guess this wouldn't/shouldn't really affect parrying with weapons that require two hands (staff, spear, polearm), as those tend to parry quite well already (which I've always assumed to be a function of weapon type rather than any "2-handed bonus"). So if there currently is no "parry bonus" for anyone wielding a 2-h weapon, maybe that could be changed..?

Now that paladins have more styles, it wouldn't be stepping on their toes too much.
