two-handed weapons|U6

Posted by Ryadin on 12/03

weapons designated as two-hand should have some bonuses. This should happen because with a single-handed counterpart you can deal the same damage as well as have an extra 5 stat. Having 10 stat 2 hand items would be smelly though. So perhaps have them 7 stat and higher av/max dam than the single handed counter parts, instead of say, 7kg 8max 4av have 7kg 10max 6av or something. By doing this you might see people actually USE the 2 handed items. It would make them a viable weapon, not something to be immeadatly discarded |U6

From: Wraith Sunday, November 24 2002, 05:38AM It would be nice if two-handed weapons/rifles gave additional bonuses. However, the comparison to made staves is not particularly good since it requires a skill to make them, they have no stat bonuses, can't be dropped, traded, picked up, etc. Also, it would be much better to cut off two of the four hands that PCs currently have before giving bonuses to two-handed weapons. Combat would be more interesting if PCs had to choose between weapon & shield, weapon & held (+stat or gun), or a two-handed weapon (or rifle). - Wraith |U6

From: Therramond Sunday, November 24 2002, 03:27PM It would make sense if some of the two-handed weapons had a lil more damage to them as well as some more stats but theres a limit as to how many people would actually WANT to get these weapons chances are most of the weapons IF they were to come like this would be extremely hard to get your hands on much like the Razor Greaves, many have heard, few have seen, but rarely noone has had to make the stats and any other bonuses better you gotta think that the mobs will be harder as per the weapon Granite if I got a 2 handed axe that had decent stats/bonuses and max/avg dam I would change in an instant but it'll be a matter of GETTING the time, much like getting the greaves but I will admit your idea has good thought, there is some guns with higher max dam than any weapon |U6
