That would actually involve more work, since then he'd have to grandfather it into all of the element functions.

I think the idea that Pirko's spurious poll thread introduced has merit. But, I'd actually prefer a slot-based sorting system, rather than an equipment type system.

I would like to have a tab for 1H, 2H, Shield, Staff, Head, Body, Hands, Legs, and Feet.

What do you guys think?

Suggested before. Multiple times. By me at least once.

Everything good has already been suggested by me or dismissed by me as being too much effort to code. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Did you suggest Free Ice Cream Day?

Tenboro, what are your plans in regards to niten and proficiency?
Frankly niten no longer has the advantage it once had. One major reason is that none of the draining suffixes drop with niten. And a good set of 2 of those would already beat the niten combination of katana and waki. And now 2h is also getting parry through the proficiency, the biggest advantage niten had before.
Basically the way it's now it doesn't make sense to burden niten with the no-proficiency-gain.

My suggestion is to either make the suffixes available to the niten weapons or (preferably:) let it gain proficiency.

Of course it's different if niten gets it's own skills when skills are actually implemented. (In late 2014)

He did say he was thinking of putting Niten into its own proficiency

I'm also extremely curious about this as well. I wonder what direction it will go to. More DW like, perhaps? Whatever it will be, I'm pray to god that it's not sucks... And also for a quick implement too! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Niten use to be, basically, a beef-up 2H. It can do exactly what 2H does, plus some goodies from DW. It was easily the best fighting style for melee. Yet the beauty of it is that it still have a downside, a good one, mainly the no-prof gain and the rarity of the gear.

Now, with 2H buffed yet Niten didn't gained anything from it. It became a deformed Siamese-twin type of fighting style. You get some traits from both 2H and DW, yet sucked in both way, while still retained the same downsides as before... It seriously lose its charm by a lot now.

Before I heard about Niten prof was planed. I was thinking that, since Niten seem to skewed toward DW a lot more now in the recent patches. Why not just make it a beef-up DW instead? I mean, with the parry bonus and all that, plus some 2H trait (basically the way 2H work in Niten right now) ... The DW bonus gained in this case would probably justified the Niten downside IMO.

Another way would be that Niten can gain prof... which is what I'm waiting for now. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

My suggestion is to make an option that let us create several profiles of quickbar through the 'settings'.

I've used a katana almost from the beginning (my first real drop) but sadly I've had to put it aside in favor of duel-wield instead because the duel-wield was just too good in comparison. I mean the parry bonus of dual-wield is not carried to Niten which makes it seriously suffer in comparison, especially since it does not gain proficiency either. Of course, I had to work with 2H prof. and DW prof. in order to keep it shape, but its not worth doing that now....-Vakuen

i wish Tenboro add this function some people really need it

I find this comparison a bit lacking. As Buktore said, niten is more a 2h style with a small dual wield bonus. And when using it you count on Domino Strikes and bleed, which is very different from dual wield. And as a bonus from dual wield prof you got parry, adm, or acc off your offhand.

Well right now dual wield and 2h can beat niten with the right setup. Which makes me wonder why niten's not getting proficiency. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

of all the wonderful changes that got added recently (my favorite one being new, not-shitty weapons and armor) there's still a major one missing

CHARACTER RESET! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

or, you know, the ability to bribe tenb into killing my account after I've transfered my mere 2 trophies/artifacts and my credits to a new account... but I digress

EDIT: oh yeah and my bronze aura, definitely don't wanna lose that one

Maybe give Niten half the benefit from 2H+DW prof, and make it gain prof slower.

CHARACTER RESET! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Why do you want to reset your character? You're only level 27; you can't possibly have messed up your stats so much that gaining a handful of levels won't allow you to fix them.

Oh yeah accessories were suggested for sure, but how about augmentations? E.g. link an augmentation to a piece of equipment that increases a particular stat by x %. (Limited to 1 augment per equipment piece of course.)

SLOOOOOTTTSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Then we probably gonna get necklace and rings too (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

IMO, I think the leech procs would have been better off on accessories that triggered whenever you were attacked.
