Right now, there are 2 combinations when it comes to equipping weapons, either two weapons, one in each hand, or one weapon and a shield.
When using a shield, you lose one weapon, effectively cutting your damage output in half (even less sometimes), but you get that increase in defense rating.
Here is what I propose: We should be able to equip just one (1) two-handed weapon. While this would remove the ability to equip another weapon/shield, it should increase the amount of damage done with that weapon, because it is being used by both hands. Maybe it could do 2.2x damage, but you only get to attack every other action, like with a shield.
Thoughts?

i like this =) -thumbs up-

2-handed weapons should be slower also, which would make lots of mess with the current fight system, so I'm pretty sure it won't be implemented

It'd be the same as using a shield, but you'd get extra damage instead of extra defence and block.

someone needs to do up a list of possible weapons
|
Two handed weapons are also less accurate..in theory anyway
|
bad idea for one simple reason: the only way this would be interesing is to have an advantage for it. balanced or dexeterous bots can not wield this weapon making them less powerfull in comparison. Everybody knows that they more need a boost than throwback in power....
|
Okay, so Dex bots get shields, but Str bots don't get shit? That's not that fair if you ask me. I think we should get stronger 2H weaps.
|
str bots get access to way better armours, of which some are unique. if anything, dex bots probably miss out a little (since no unique shields)
i would go as far to say it isnt fair on behalf of dex bots, unless we are talking extremely early or extremely late game
|
I don't see this would be that big of an advantage, I'm not saying we would get like 800% extra damage, I meant like a 4 or 5% damage boost, which would be nothing low-level.
|
if it's nothing at low level you don't need it then, and 4-5% would definitely be noticable and contribute significantly to the outcome of a fight, to the point of it being overpowered.
|
overpowered...at higher level* i meant to put ^^
|
So a 4-5% boost is a massive boost against a Dex bot with a shield giving an 85% block chance... it's not like I can hit them now, anyway.
|
If there are 2H weapons, Max block chance should be raised to 80.
|
I thought it was like 85%. I'm for Alan's suggestion.
|
there are already weapons that are two handed weapons but somehow our bots can wield 2 two handers:(
|
max block is 70%
2 Handed weapons would be awesome
|
Two handers = two thumbs up. :D
|
i suggest that all weapons be able to be used 2-handed for X2 damage

Shields give a benefit of defense and block. If 2H weapons do 2X damage, there is no point, and if they do 2.2X damage, there is no point to dual wielding. Until such a time as unique weapons and shields come out, this is pointless.
|
or you could make it so 2h weps gives you a lower block chance and have it to 2.2x dmg
|
Then you have to remove the minimum 5% block chance, or have this supersede that rule.
In fairness, I'm not a fan of hard caps anyways.
