How would people feel about class specific weapons? i.e. a unique weapon for each class.

Examples could include a Polearm built into a shield for guards, ritualistic chalices for necros, flails for warriors, crossbows for rangers etc. etc.

It might be a nice way to add some uniqueness as well as new weapons to the game. As there is only one new wep per class it would actually be easier to balance than most other new weapon suggestions.

Just an idea that came to me, thoughts?

It’d mean 7 weapons that my favourite class can’t use…

EDIT: perhaps I should elaborate a bit:
A new weapon means the need for a whole set of new skills, new animations, new skins, and expands the existing sets. This is a LOT of work, and I believe such great investment in resources should be aimed at being accessible by as great a part of the player base as possible.

I rather they just rework some of the existing weapon abilities so they are more viable (like warrior) and allow them to be customized somewhat.
