Guild Wars 2

Why do people who use two handed weapons get forced to pay double for their weapon sets?

Using cultural weapons as an example.. two daggers or a dagger and a pistol would be 63k karma each.

That’s 126k karma for a single weapon set compared to a single greatsword at 63k

Seems like there is a pretty steep inequality for weapon selection. This also seems to apply to dungeon weapons.

This seriously needs some tweaking. If using two 1h weapons is just deemed “more effective” than 2h weapons then I wouldn’t mind seeing some cost adjustment so that we pay 70k karma (35k per dagger) to equal out to a 63k karma greatsword.. This is an example but, we would still pay more and it could be “adjusted for stat inflation” if you will.

There is no weaponset in the game that justifies a +63k karma price over another weapon of the same level though.

I feel the same logic can be applied to dungeon tokens.. Why should people who want a weaponset from a dungeon have to make about twice as many dungeon runs?

Again, I don’t mind running more if it means the stats are slightly higher so that everything evens out.. but, right now.. the system is completely bias towards 2h weapons.

I definitely agree.

Thanks, I’m hoping maybe we can get some more support.

Or at the very least someone can give me a reasonable explanation as to why things are the way they are.

I’ve also noticed 2 handers will always have higher weapon dmg than dual wielding.

Basically : lvl 10 staff with 100 weapon dmg,

Lvl 10 dagger x2 with 88 weapon dmg each averages to ….88 weapon dmg total.

Slightly different issue, but still why do 2handers have such an advantage lol.

Do think this is a good point, a main hand with the off hand should equal around the same cost as 1 two hander, so 1 hand weapons either need the cost reducing or two handers need increasing to even it out.
