To be frank, Dual Wield weapons is awesome, and will allow for more options. It’s not hard to add a talent that lets you specialize in 2 handed or Dual Wielding weapons.
SOD has it - Melee hunters are amazing there and you have the option to do DW / 2H.
Wouldn’t even have to change anything. The animations work pretty good with dual wield. (There is an unofficial method to dual wield as sv, but your main hand gets no stats so it’s super sub par. And you can’t transmog it or offhand becomes invisible.)
Also they can give SV a rexar theme special artifact weapon that is DW that way we get the cosmetics without changing our gearing and still fit the hunter theme. They could have a rexar theme dw set and a Slyvannas themed Dw set.
That doesn’t change anything? The loot pool would still be diluted. Trying to get a drop from the Great vault would be much, much worse as on top of having 2-handers the potential loot would be filled with one handers.
That doesn’t have anything to do with what I said you would still get 2h drops and dual wield drops, regardless which is more competitive. the loot pool would just be diluted, as you’d be getting way too many weapon drops you couldn’t or wouldn’t use.
