Guild Wars 2

As I look through my Thief Weapon abilities I notice 3 abilities under the Light condition which I have not unlocked. To my complete shock what that means is and empty off hand!

Can some one please explain to me why design anything like that? Do we have traits to buff ‘Off-Hand Light’ in any way or form? No of course not? Do we lose stats and damage by doing so? Yes of course.

So I gave game designers the benefit of the doubt and looked at these abilities assuming they are powerful enough to make up for the loss of damage, utility and stats, I couldn’t find those benefits.

Any insight?

Those just exist so you’ll still have 3 skills for your one handed weapons even if you haven’t got an offhand. You’re not supposed to /actually use them/.
