Subject: Blizz: Any chance for a 2h only +Agi enchant? |
| |
As it stands, there's one +Agility enchant for weapons: +15 agility, and it works on both 1handers and 2handers. Unfortunately, this leads to the problem that, since a dual-wielding Hunter can get 2 enchants, whereas a 2handed Hunter only gets one, dual-wielding is almost always better. And since melee weapons for Hunters are realistically simply stat bonuses, as our melee skills aren't a real part of our damage capability at all, there's the current situation where, for example.... 2x Bone Slicing Hatchets (13 agility each) are far and away better than our Epic Quest staff (which by the way still has a placeholder graphic) simply because you can put 2 enchants on the axes, and only one on the Staff.
In short... is there any chance we could see a +25 or +30 Agi enchant specifically for 2handers, in order to balence this out. (And will our epic staff ever not be 3 twigs held together with duck tape? >.<)[ post edited by Kalaryia ]

A precise and well-worded post. I will definitely mention it to the professions designers.

Q u o t e:
Too bad it had Blizz in the topic which violates their "rules"
Yeah, but they could always edit it out. The feedback was too good to pass up for such a minor detail :D
