Two components into 2H weapons

[Martimus]

As they should be until it’s implemented. Or at least make a component on a 2handed weapon have twice the stats.

Personally I think 2Hs should just be slightly better than 2 1Hs, and then the component difference is balanced out, stat wise. Augments are basically balanced IMO already, it’s just doubled. Less variety, can’t mix and match, but there’s got to be some tradeoff between the types. Maybe if Crate doesn’t want to directly buff 2Hs, or if it would just be too complicated to go through each one, they could accomplish much the same goal by simply buffing the 2H Specific Augments to make up for stat differences.

Game has huge balance issues. So such small tweak like “2h components” does not change anything in general. But devs can allow us to add second component to make game “more fun”.

glad to see that the upcoming patch will address this issue…

• Two Handed Weapons can now use up to 3 Components.

I agree with this - 2H weapons should have different benefits than 1H, and having fewer component slots (And thus access to 1 fewer active skill) seems like a good one. This does mean they need to have significant bonuses in stats to offset this loss of flexibility.

It’s far too easy to end up with everything just being the same thing with a different skin if the game goes down the path of everything having the same enhancement amounts available.

I agree.

Since the attributes, the gear, the quests, the devotions and the skills granted by item are all generic to all characters, the only thing that makes a given build this build and no other are the two masteries. The masteries have some influence over the attributes and gear, and therefore over the devotions, but I am sometimes under the impression that it is too limited and that all builds end up being the exact same: 6K HP+, all res 65%+, 25K+ DPS with +1000%+ damage bonus and that’s basically it. From this point onwards, it looks like the game is no longer helping what makes it what it is in the first place: multiclassing.

Be careful. You stepped on the wrong road. If you will continue to think this way then you will stop playing.
