Has their been any talk of weapon skill changes in SOD? I want to play a different race other than Human as a warrior but the sword weapon skill is just too good.
I believe that in an interview they did mention something to that effect where they were going to change some racials. You can look at character creation though. Select human and see if they have sword skill. Check the other races see what their racials are. Either way we wont truly know until we make our toons.
Ok cool thank you!
I thought the interview said that they weren’t touching racials but rather adding items in that would make the racials for weaponskill largely irrelevant while at the same time making edgemasters handguards no longer the must have for people without those racials.
I took this to mean they were adding more items with +weaponskill to the game.
I mean who knows what is gonna happen at this point. My rogue will be a night elf regardless. And in my experience the sword skill from humans isn’t that huge. I have beaten plenty of human rogues in DPS before because I was just better at my class.
For warriors it’s nice not to worry about that extra hit in the beginning of gearing up for pre BiS. I might just play whatever I want anyways because why not lol
Exactly. Play what you want. We are all going to be discovering. Theres gonna be new quests, monsters and even new areas in zones we haven’t seen before. Just go in and have fun and learn with the rest of us.
My idea, which I think fits well and without major impacts to other enchants/runes/weapon slots = give Blacksmiths a belt enchant (somewhat similar to Eternal Belt Buckle) based on weapon specialization (+7 to 10 Axe/Mace or Sword). Call it a weapon holster. Probably should expand this to daggers and fist weapons as well.
This wouldn’t interfere with any other enchants, wouldn’t lock you in to a specific weapon/piece of armor, and would bring a lot of value to Blacksmithing.
I made a Dwarf banking on a solution like this. I would consider a rune, enchant or needing a specific weapon/item a loss. Prepared to wear my Edgemaster’s if needed
