1h+spell vs DW

Post » Thu May 10, 2012 1:20 pm

Hey guys!

So I've been lurking the forums and trying to figure out my self in game, but I cannot come to a conclusion. So I'll be asking about your thoughts and experiences here.

So basically, I've been playing with DW with daggers and swords as thief/assassin and liked it a lot (lvl 21). But I've been struggling with this equip manager thingy which drove me crazy, like going from DW to 1h and spell to heal your self etc and back. And I wanted to try the Thief/Illusionist character, so I rolled a new character and started to use only 1h+spells and tbh I liked it a lot better, may it be healing, illusion, damaging spell. It just "felt" a lot easier or more natural/smother to me personally. I'm still relying on my bow and steal 1h kills for most time, but I just wanted to hear what you guys think about it, likes or dislikes?

Is there any real need to go for DW, may it be swords or dagger or 1 of each, except for the looks, speed boost from 1h tree, enchants/poisons and a bit more dmg? Or go with a bit more utility with 1h+spell?

PS: If any modders read this, will you consider on making a mod for less equip pain for dual wielders? :tops:

PPS: Posted this in general, maybe it belongs in hints thread? If so, please move it, thx.

Cheers

with the favorites menu dual wielding works fine for me... it's soooo much better than using a 2h weapon. Can't say much about 1h and spells though.

I use Fav menu a lot too mate, the thing is that I don't like to "pause" the game much (I'm a master Sc2 player with high apm) and kinda messed up things while on the move fighting several mobs, if you know what I mean. Like going from DW to 1h+heal and back to DW, dunno if its but like some people say, but I can't just press 1 to select my both swords, it only equips 1 and the other hand remains with a spell.
