So, i just recently created a condition Warrior With dual swords. i really love all the effects that the two swords give, but i feel that the way offhand sword abilities are Applied, kinda ruins the dual wielding feel. swords, being the most iconic weapon of dual wielding, deserves a bit better animation to give it that special feel.
i love the practical use of Impale, but dual wield-wise or sword-wise it’s not the greatest to be throwing a sword, especially With the New torment, that makes the impale effect slightly op. rather, in my opinion, it should be a Chain Slice With both weapons applying one stack per hit.
as for riposte, i like the long suffering from it’s 10-30s bleeds it provides, but i kinda feel bummed about 2 Things:
1. the fact that all classes, but especially Warriors, have enough parry-styled Blocks, especially on the offhand slot.
2. the Block is sometimes delayed, so you cannot time it right to lure someone to hit you.
my solution is to reuse, but maybe with a new animation, the idea of whirling defense from offhand rangers. it’s a great Block that Counters all projectiles and damages nearby foes. i was thinking apply that to riposte but instead in a cone-shape and blocking all damage in a cone while being able to move(maybe with slower move speed, idk), and applying the bleeds.
I really feel that if not what i suggested here, at least make something that gives the offhand sword a dual wield feel, cause at the moment People negate it cause of it’s split weapons feel. and if you read this, thank you for Your time.
Any replies to support this thread and up it on the list is also appreciated.
