Problem: 2h weapons are underwhelming
Solution: Ornament with +3200 attack, 2 ichors (well probably like Savinose a random stat pool and a new ichor type), awakening, enchanting, socketing (albeit only 1) and probably anviling/transcending
This basically kills the 1h + offhand weapon combo for any class that doesn’t use the offhand as main (scout) plus makes shield not so appealing anymore.
Yes, seeing how they tend to go over the top each time with their patches, we’d better wait and see what they bring to ktest first.
