Anyone else think that hybrid classes using magic, mainly arcane archers and battlemages, have been nerfed, possibly unintentionally, by the new weapon/spell system? You can't have a tankish Battlemage using a sword and board or a 2hander anymore without having to constantly switch between weapons and spells, and arcane archers can't use spells at all while they have their bow in their hands. While I do think that the new system has granted a much-needed reprieve to melee characters who were quite a bit weaker in Oblivion, anyone else miss the days of rushing in with a battleaxe and a spell?

Yes, any hybrid is going to be weaker. I like playing a Spellsword, but a pure warrior or Mage will always be stronger.

Well I like mixing telekernisisisis with mah big ol' hammer so I'm a hammerkinesis class an I pwn dergins
