idk man there’s quite a lot of great weapons atm and it’ll only get more and more apparent w/ each update
triasta (ew)
sunken
staff weapons
muskets
(sometimes) flintlocks
rapiers
claws
daggers (seared dagger is pretty good iirc)
thallahasi or whatever that sword is called
vindicator
sunken staff
Mage has less moves but far more variety because of multiple magics, customization, synergies, and getting new rare spells every fucking update. Saying warrior has more variety makes me think you might have never actually played warrior
You should be more worried about warlords and conjurers being able to use skills available only on lower tier weapons (flying phoenix) on stuff like Kai sabre or scimitars
Hell you can simplify your attack slots with this, one fs/magic one close/medium range weapon and one long range weapon
I don’t like warrior gameplay it’s kinda boring ngl
anyway
while this may be true, all of these things are only going to be contained within a set list of spells and moves that mages can learn, not every magic has a completely new moveset.
unlike warriors, which do have that, and being able to change things with weapon skills gives warriors a huge advantage.
Would it really make a difference though? All the skills are available to all weapon users save for unique ones like ethereal flash and crushing NG judgement and rising tide
Which aren’t exchangeable
So they’ll still have all the moves except packed into a weapon or two
It’s a convenience/ vanity kind of thing which is nice plus you have to go through the trouble of finding weapons and exotic enchants as well as opposed to just choosing magic
if weapons are getting transferrable skills i hope spirit weapons also do at some point, otherwise they’ll be the only route with 0 customisation, which would be weird
that’s only accounting for the present, weapons will have way more moves and with how quickly they can mix things up, they will be more versatile than warrior
also, weapons aren’t affected by scaling in the way mage or berserker is, their second and third weapons aren’t smaller by any means.
man idk anymore everyone LOVES the idea of weapon customization for some reason and I’m failing to see how or why it would be a good idea outside of being consistent with everything else
You said yourself that weapons had 5-6 skills planned, even if warrior gets a 4th weapon slot with those numbers it will only ever at the maximum be equal to mages with the downside of 0 customization
