Guild Wars 2

So…I have been thinking about different spec’s for my Necro…and while staff has some really cool and useful stuff in it…I feel gypped because any dual wield class gets to put two sigils (one in each weapon) on their character…

Why the heck doesn’t the staff or bow or any other two handed weapon have two slots?

Don’t say it’s because of the power either, because that is not justifiable in my eyes. The difference is marginal at best.

Please add a second sigil space to two handed weapons…make the playing ground level.

I have no idea why this hasn’t been done… can’t find a reason.

Actually… that makes sense to me.

It really does seem kinda biased if you ask me…I am surprised that no one else out there has thought about this…

One-handed weapons are more expensive than two-handed weapons, considering you need two of them

wow, this is it. this is the fix for warriors in pvp. thx dude, of course it aint gonna happen

I’ve already thought of this and thought about suggesting it, but I’ve lost faith in Anet being rational, since they nerfed Ele and buffed thief and warrior….

Wouldn’t it make more sense to simply make each Sigil on 1H weapons only affect abilities by that weapon? For Engineers, only the Mainhand should affect kits I suppose.

While I use a kit instead of my regular weapons, why would their sigil(s) affect me at all? Logically, I mean.

What about weapon swaps? What about “on kill” sigils? That would completely break the current system.

Engineers can’t weapon swap anyway, so weapon swap sigils are completely useless to me.

Two handed weapons do more damage. Perhaps the single sigil is seen as a way to balance the lower damage from one-handed ones?

Bingo! that’s exactly why you only get 1 sigil on the 2h weapons.

Animag.7634:

So in your idea, if ANet made 2-handed weapons more expensive than 2x 1-handed weapons combined, it’d be okay for 2-handed weapons to be outright better?
What logic is that?

The answer is never to justify unbalance.
Fix the prices and fix the power balance.

for eles attunement swaps count as weaponswap, doesn’t kit-swap count as weaponswap also?

IndigoSundown.5419:

Would need the data on that for sure. Since I believe people have stated that numbers wise, the highest dps for Guardian at least is the 1h sword. Warriors are also switching to Axe/Mace and saying they’re seeing higher damage outputs.

If the damage is relatively the same, it would make sense for 2handers to have 2 sigil slots.

Animag.7634:

Not sure what the point is here… :\

Heh, whomever said that two handed weapons do more damage than 1h, hasn’t seen the dmg output from necro dagger…

If I’m not mistaken,anet announced somewhere that they plan to give 2h weapons two sigil slots at some point.
So don’t worry,you will have your two sigils of force on your full berserker min-max damage greatsword warrior eventually! :V

kit swap
really anything that involves you changing weapon skills (ele attune, engi swap, grabbing a warrior banner or any other weapon that sits on the ground) with the exception being transformations (shrink/mist/rampage/animal forms/etc.) iirc

I had no idea. I thought weapon swapping was disabled for engineers specifically to prevent this. (Why else would they single out one class and not let them swap weapons?) Thanks for the info!

ele’s don’t either

Attunement swapping counts as a weapon swap for Elementalists. I suspect anything that changes your weapon (including equiping a kit) counts as a swap. In the past, there was no cooldown on the swap trigger, making sigil of battle enormously overpowered for elementalists. There’s a 9s cooldown on it now to prevent that, which incidentally nerfed Warriors with the fast-hands trait a little bit, too.

… Okuza read back through that conversation…

This seems like one of those things that you see Anet doing in round table meetings in 2009 or 2010.

I have a feeling that is what happened. You do realize your two handers do a lot of damage don’t you?

So this post in actuality boils down to please nerf my two-handers so I can give it more stats

Krosslite are you trying to compare 1 2hander to 1 1hander?… I’m pretty sure there isn’t some magical imbalance between 2handers and SETS of 1handers that nobody but you has noticed.

As the person that gets the original intent of this post all wrong….the award goes to ::drum roll:: Krosslite!! L2R

Dude, get a clue, when did I say nerf the power of the 2h? I actually said quite the opposite…give it a second sigil slot

K, thx, bye.

Should’ve been in-code from day one. All you need to do, really, is follow the same sigil logic for MH+OH combos, to avoid ridiculous Sigil combos (For instance, managing to double-effect Superior Fire/Air).

(Eh … woulda expected a bump warning, if this topic were like a month or three old … not a week. /shrug)

T o the guy that never thought out what he was asking for ::drum roll :: Kitedyou.

All you did was confirm exactly what you meant.

You are asking to make 2 handers OP… THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!!

to get your wish they will do what I said… nerf the weapon so you can have your desire.

Think before you post and before you answer.

2 handers have the highest damage ratings of the game.. mainly due to being slower then 1 handers.

Your desire would unbalance the game so as to fix this imbalance to get what you want they would nerf the 2 handers.

Sheesh the ego that some people have in these forums. To think they are all perfect and better then someone else to try and degrade them in a response when they are clearly ignorant in how MMOs are made.

I have been a customer of MMOs for 20 year. How about you?

Cuz you know, thief and warrior were at all comparable to ele pre nerf…

Ele needs to get over it, they are still good. The only difference is you’re no longer a unstoppable force who can jump into a zerg and pop out moments later unscathed.
