The slot change is about balancing hybrids, it's not a nerf. If you want to be a hybrid you simply have to choose between having the best ranged weapon+decent melee or having best melee+decent ranged. Or you find it fair that hybrids currently can have best melee+best ranged with no disadvantage at all?
I dare to disagree.
It is a nerf. And badly made IMHO. Yoy still can have sniper xbow + greatsword (only flamberge will take 2 slots afaik), but you can't have practice dagger + arena shield + heavy xbow. You can not have ANY shield with decent xbow. That makes decent xbows obsolete, due to the fact that xbowman/archers are not melee! They rarely use 2H weapon, and they need to divide wpf between 1h/2h and xbow, or in case of the archers, even powerdraw.
If you really want to limit the amount of weapons used at the same time, it may be easier to limit the total weight of weapons that can be carried. It is more natural and more intuitive.
I dont see it as that much of a problem, if they dont want archers to have a melee weapon at all then i guess they will just start running all around the map or camp unreachable places even more than now.
+1 to that, Dear Sir. This will discourage any ranged to participate in melee fights.
Overall I think it will buff twohanders. Even more. Additionally, it means that upkeep did not do the job, obviously. Maybe it is to cheap to upkeep weapons now?
