Well that is disappointing, I was hoping that the second or third attack in the chain for 2H would be something to rape single targets, not packs. Like how dualwield is single/single/all, 2H would be something like all/something/single. But that's just what I was thinking would happen.

Some balancing suggestions
2) Attributes

So I meant to suggest this ever since the rewrite and ratings were removed, but never got around to doing it. The damage boosts from primary attributes are pretty shitty. Having only a 1.25 increase for every INT/STR would mean you only get 125 from 100 of them. A half-assed slaughter/destruction prefix would net you more damage than that at level 300. They definitely need a boost but I'm not going to suggest any numbers. The chance of player-suggested numbers being implemented is mathematically insignificant anyways.

If we had a system where players got more benefits from stats then mobs I would be all for this. As it stands this would most likely just make monsters stronger.

If however he increases the scaling factor for stats on gear, then maybe this would work

I like the sound of that. It would be pretty useful for rounds with lots of normal enemies + bosses/legendaries.

Yeah, I mean that's just how I think it should be. 1H has a boss finisher as its 3rd. Dual Wields go nuts is practically a finisher on both groups and single targets. 2H and Niten, we can't know for sure until things get implemented, though it would be nice if they got single target kill skills.

Staff needs something besides a bonk on the head, but it should be something that gives them more damage with their casts or regenerates mana/spirit.

I've said since day one that it should be an AoE Penetrated Barrier. Like PA, but for magic. It would help balance the classes again since melee can breeze through hundreds of rounds of BT/IWBTH and mage is barely tolerable on Normal. It would only be useful for situations that require ET anyway, which is pretty much only high difficulties, legendary marathons, and RoB.

Oh hell no (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Well good thing I have my 2H prof capped, so there's a good chance I get to try out the new skills right after they're added (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Like I said before, the debuffs that are a core part of Shatter Strike should be spread out throughout the first 2 attacks (stun and then penetrate ideally which means it probably won't be the order that'll be settled on) and then the third attack is the damage-dealer.

1H gets an IK attack for tolerating the worst specialization, DW gets an attack that scales perfectly between one and multiple targets, 2H should get a massive single-target damage attack at the end.

Yeah. Penetrated Armor and it always being available for 2H is pretty much the reason why melee classes are coasting higher difficulties, even if it still takes half of forever to kill something. Magic should have something comparable, like a Void spell triggering it.

I think part of the solution should be that *all* debuff spells need an AOE variant, though, since overcharge will never be useful for magic.

Don't forget Scatter Strike is what makes the killspeed bearable on higher difficulty setting. If I can only use it like every 3rd round my killspeed will be much slower.
While this is not a Problem for people who are willing to invest 12 hours+ a day it is for people with Job and Hobbies outside of HV.

I'm pretty sure the "changing that will make everything harder, please don't do it" argument falls under the facerolling trololol category

Harder = slower?

cancel the Featherweight Shard Enchantments on all kind of armor equipment

bring back the advantage of light Armor (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

and keep shard effects on weapons

make people still have a choose between buy expensive Ethereal from Mr greedy or buy some cheap shards from Ponies

Um....I don't know. Maybe the damage and procs (stun and PA) can be separated into a multi-step process?

Tier 1: An attack which deals damage to every monsters, but have no proc
Tier 1: proc stun and PA, but deals no damage
Tier 2: an attack which deals even more damage
Tier 3: an attack which deals enormous damage to an enemy

This may break EOD arenas though.

I agreed with Tenboro and Varst.
I'm waiting for the 2-H skills' Chain for a long time (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I hope Tier1 and Tier2 can make us feel something different with 1-H ,and DW
Maybe 2-H can give player some buff?(e.g:such as drain HP/SP/MP for turns?)
What warriors need is that 2-H tier-3 skill can deal high damage as DW to a single Target

Harder = slower?

Yeah, slower isn't harder. Harder is enemies putting nasty debuffs on the player and having double/triple turns on you, not taking 10 times the amount of time to kill.

While at it, lets make 2H able to equip Shield, gain Overwhelming Strike, and could Counter as well. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

ER....
I think it will be too IMBA.

And can wield 1 more 2H weapon (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Sarcasm. Deal with it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
