Suggestion[Main Hand and Off-hand Problem]

To keep it short, the problem right now is that some of the archer class and mainly the corsair is suffering from the main hand + off hand dilemma.

Cannoneer Problem: Cannon is offhand and its skills scale off it. Many lower rank skills are crippled by this because in order to get stronger in Cannoneer, you have to invest in transcending your cannon weapon. Now, lower rank skills like Quarrel Shooter, Wugushi, Sapper, etc. scale off the crossbow weapon. This causes the player in a tight spot where they’ll not make use optimal use of lower rank skills.

Schwarzer Reiter: ^ Same as above.

Corsair: ^ Same as above since in order to make full potential of pistol shot by transcending it, they’ll have to neglect their main hand which affects their other skills and other lower rank skills as well.

TL;DR - Players essentially have to double the investment in enhancing and transcending both main hand and offhand by affected classes above. This is a huge problem in my opinion.

My solution: Introduce a feature for said classes where they can swap what is main hand and what is off-hand. This can be attribute or simply a new feature of said classes.

For example in the case of corsairs, Main hand: sword Offhand: pistol > Main hand: pistol Offhand: sword.

My other solution would be is so that if a player that is a cannoneer/SR/corsair wears cannon weapon or pistol weapon, the system recognizes that all skills should scale off cannon or pistol weapon.

Please if you see this @STAFF_Yuri @STAFF_Ethan @STAFF_John , pass to the dev team.

same thing as what I’ve discussed in another forum yesterday however some see it as a real thing instead of a bug and have yet to realize it. kudos to pointing this out.

You mean it’s a intended feature of IMC until they announce it as a bug.

:wink:

Good luck to this. They should remove stupid stances so we can just use Sub weapon as a main weapon. So we can go kirito with 2 Cannons

Ah true. I mean the solution isn’t the important thing but really the main hand offhand problem has to stop. This is like one of the reasons why certain R8 archer classes are not popular as well.

Got it, will check it through :smiley:

dual pistols can be awsome =-)

I think it would be more simple if off hand weapons couldn’t transcend but the transcended main weapon would affect off hand too.

Main problem with that is if you mean in general is that shield users would be a bit broken in the long run especially with orange/purple rank 8 shields. Anyway the suggestion is not as important as raising awareness about this problem and why some classes/class combination right now are so rare to see.
