Curse

I was thinking about this for awhile now... it might be cool to have some Offhand type weapons for the warrior.

They would probably function like Focuses (Provide Focus benefits rather then the standard shield benefits) rather then a second weapon but it would make a Warrior look like he/she was dual wielding in the game. I was thinking like Daggers, Wakizashis that can be paired with a Katana (for Cantha regions), or Cutlasses, and maybe something like Hatchets for Axe users?

It's just an aesthetic idea I thought up because I thought the Katana/Shield combo on a warrior looked kinda weird.

Actually I think you might be onto something here.
Offhands for warriors +1

Splitisoda · Feb 20, 2008, 07:45 PM // 19:45

Maybe you could have an off hand that increases damage?
You could probably get it like +1....+9 damage base (from the off hand itself)
Then some inscriptions could be
"Brawling Madness!" Damage Dealt +1...+5 20% Chance
"Fear Not!" Damage Dealt +5 Hexes Last 20% Longer
"You're Doomed!" Damage Dealt +5 Conditions Last 20% Longer
"Give Me Power!" While Enchanted +2 Damage

Focus Cores
+5 Damage
+10 Damage While In A Stance
+10 Damage While Hexed
+10 Damage While Under An Condition
+500 Damage While Under An Necro Hex (Hate those dang guys >_>)

I think if they make weapons that go in the offhand for warriors, it should have the same stats as sheilds, but ya know, look like a sword or something. If we had +5 +10 while condition, etc etc, Shock axe warriors would be all over everyone in Gvg and bring a whole new balancing system into work. Too much work. HOWEVER I am for offhands for warriors that look like weapons, however act like sheilds, since ya know, someone can use a sword to block attacks anyways.

/signed for offhands that act like sheilds or existing foocus items but look like weapons
/signed for lazers! PEW PEW PEW

Besides the Necro part and the +10 dmg in a stance, I really like this idea. It should be closer to the +2 dmg while enchanted/stance.

nononono it would be OP and the whole system will go down the drain with new mods and stuff. Just leave it as is, but add graphically pleasing things.

I hear there's a Sardelac Sanitarium forum where all the bad suggestions go.

You need friends

As for the OP. The idea is nice and quite creative. It's somewhat of a tossup for me because although I like the idea, for some reason it just doesn't feel right in my mind. Like something is missing...

Even if it's just for aesthetic purposes I think it would be great though since I've always thought it was strange that only Assassins could really dual wield.

Kwan Xi · Feb 20, 2008, 09:55 PM // 21:55

uhhh actually my original suggestion was making the offhands act more like Focus Items rather then Shields. Use the same focus inscriptions and cores.... More like an aesthetic option it would be easy to implement that then the other stuff suggested which would require re-balancing shields and focui and be a general pain to implement into the game.

I mean seriously if you want extra armor for your War just carry the shield.

My Idea would be like a Wakizashi with req 9 Swordsmanship, Energy+12, "Master of my Domain" Inscription, and a +30HP core.

Well the concept for diff skins for offhands is nothing new, so you basically just want a shield with a weapon skin.

Those new mods would just be overpowered at even +2dmg and would kill every old shield in the game fast.

All that being said I would still love to get my hands on the Chimeric Prism
