Can not Equip weapon

[Predz88]

I don't know if I'm missing something, but I have a two-handed mace, and I meet the level and strength requirements(nothing is red), but I cannot equip it; all I get is I am not strong enough. i was wondering for two-handed do we need double to the str value or is something wrong.

I'm having the same issue.. did you figure anything out?

Maybe your equipped weapon has strength increase stat and if you try equip mace your strength goes below requirement.

You probably got that Giant's Blood nod that triples the requirement ?

That.

Everything is very simple. You have the skill to carry 2 two-handed weapons at the same time, but it has a debuff. Threefold increase in requirements for the characteristics

Something similar happened to me with the Mercenary but it doesn't concern weapons.

I didn't understand why i always had low armor and evasion even though my gear was perfect for that purpose and i even got to halfway through act 3 in Cruel difficulty with some bosses that oneshotted me with one hit... reason?

Useful against magic bosses but against "physical" bosses it really seemed like playing a souls like.

I bet this is the solution. This happen to me last night on my sorc, I found a new wand. Crafted it up and was stoked to get an upgrade. When i equipped it, it turned red and would not work. After a few seconds of investigating i noticed my current wand had +18 int, once removed I did not have enough int to equip my new wand so i need to level up to get a few nodes of int to equip said new wand.

So i had the same issue with a bow i thought i had all the correct stats, turns out my bow was giving me +27 Dex but also my base dex before any modifiers was 203 i needed 212. So id say check your stats on your character tab not the passive tree and then adjust according and try again.

Did you put weapon set 1 skill points into strength and now you try to equip the 2h in weapon slot 2?
