The end of unquestioned two-handed sword meta will come. YungTabarzin will drop by your thread shortly to confirm.

 

You can choose to play as you like or 100% effectively

Hot take but I think that Heroes got a lot of options for weapons already. Multiple one handed and two handed swords are viable. Paladins got a lot of choices too, and DKs. In general warriors probably have the most viable end game weapons of any job.

 

Yet they are also the only class (except for mages cause of luk requirements on staves) that has an entirely irrelevant class of weapons.

 

I'd love it if Polearms and 2H everything had their pros and cons.

Like if Axes had higher max damage
Or BWs had higher min damage
Or Polearms had a higher chance of swing damage vs stab.

And that slashing, bludgeoning, piercing damage had their own values and bosses had weaknesses and resistances.

 

Rework the multipliers for Axe and BW to be more on par with Swords, especially 2H. PA is fine where it is considering you can force swing/stab and DrK is in a place where they can easily get both weapons maxed and are better grinders than bossers at the moment.

 

Oh I'm not saying Polarms are bad, I'm just being selfish haha

 

True. But LUK staves are not nearly as bad as axes lol
