Buff 1 handers

[Bobthehero]

Buff 1 handers if the character who uses a 1 handed eapon has 0 shield skill.

[Diomedes]

Why?

[Bobthehero]

Actually, it would make a new kind of class viable, not a very popular one, but still, diversity is the key.

Archers and crossbowman would whine less about the incapabilities in melee.

The retard?

As a crossbowman going 1h is viable and quite good. Archery meh.

It's possible to be quite good with what's already there.  Darkkarma, for example, is scary from far away and up close.  His house is fun on Halloween

You don't have to tell me Diomedes, but a small buff to just to say you can fill the gap wouldnt hurt ;)

I have played 1h no shield for 4-5 gens now and I think it's well balanced. Less damage than 2h or polearms, but somewhat faster and harder to block.

hey bob, what if we buff 1handers without shield to be like 30% faster and more powerful than those with shields?

[indigocylinder]

30%? you realise that would make a 100 speed sword have effective 130 speed with no shield, right?

A 1-3% increase would be more understandable.

-trollmodeon- I approve, give this man a medal. -trollmodeoff-

Probably, nothing to make the weapon close to 2 handers, but rather give the offensive edge agaisnt shielders.

[Matey]

now correct me if im wrong... but dont you take a penalty to speed and damage when using a 1hand with a shield?

[Bobthehero]

Oh... right. :O
