So, what's up with weapons and requirements?

[Knight9910]

It seems I can still use weapons that I don't meet the requirements for, with the only thing being that every use gives me a sad sound effect and pop-up text to the effect of "you don't meet this weapon's requirements!"

So, basically weapon requirements are not really requirements so much as weapon suggestions.

Check how much damage you deal with this weapons. You will be dissapointed.

[Knight9910]

Ah, it seems weapons you don't meet the requirements for deal... half damage I think?

The only problem with the changes is that the mage has a very hard time specing for crits now. (that and the melee line is butchered, since high tier items that gave Multi-strike chance are ALL Ranger items now.) I agree with the level requirements, because balance for the balance gods, But the class requirements are the real kill-joys. Logged in and the only items my Scythe Mage could use was Kings Boots and Ring of Thunder. Not really to butt-hurt by it, since the class trees needed some lovin'. I'll just have to come up with a new template for my crit / Multistrike character. (Archer Gear was completely unchanged. So no real loss, my boss killer remains intact.)

Kind of sad that I cannot use the arsenal I previously crafted for myself anymore. Are there ANY long distance weapons left that a warrior can use? Also, are there any weapons a warrior can use that will damage those resurrecting mages (forgot what they are called now). Prviously only the Immortal Gold did it that I knew of - which again, my Warrior now can not use. :(

Farm 1st boss (Worm) until you get Poison Rain. It is Broken as hell, then build for crits. Procede to faceroll. Range is not needed, just combat roll drop a Poison Rain, and run in circles. Everything (even Electro Worm in HM) will die.

Yeah, they wrecked the game for me. Not being able to use the bow to save myself when melee wasn't effective just ended my interest in playing.

Same here. Nixxing weapon variety for everyone was outright stupid. If they wanted people to have different playstyles- They could have tied weapons to stats instead.

[Knight9910]

Yeah, I have basically no interest in playing a Warrior anymore. I mean, even if I can use my shouts to make it possible to kill fliers... being tied 100% to melee, with my only ranged options being spells or those absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ throwing axes... it's just stupid. What were they THINKING?

Seems like it's a a rather unpopular change.
