Offhand accessories for two handed weapons?

[Mycow8me]

Two handed weapons (bows, greatswords, axes, staves, gun, etc...) have an empty slot that could still be used for miniscule stat or ability buffers.

Why not allow a strap, arrow, bullet or whatever type to be there that affects stats some how? Seen it in other games just thought I'd mention it. Sorry if its been mentioned before, didn't care to look.

One handed weapons are usually two thirds the strength of one handed weapons of the same ilvl, with the off hand making up for the remaining one third of the stats.
So having a boost in the off hand spot while holding a two handed weapon would really blow if you were using a one handed weapon, which at this point is only ever PLD, but still.

Do not want.

Do want, particularly for fishing.

Imagine a series of lures equipped in your offhand for fishing, allowing you to catch all fish level 5 or below, 10 or below, 15 or below and so on, rather than having to carry around a dozen or more different kinds of bait.

This fishing one would be ok. But as someone else said, they would have to restat all the combat 2-handers and I don't think that is necessary. Maybe some vanity thing would be ok, but no stats.

Doesn't particularly have to be a stat based buffer... Could be anything, even a cooldown or class ability enhancement.

That's still an advantage over 1 handers.

Offhand fanny packs or arrow/quiver.

That's still an advantage over 1 handers.

It won't be any problems if the class is designed around having an offhand, see paladin.

Edit: Turns out shields don't give armor in this game lol. Well either way I still think this would be neat. It could even be incorporated into one handed off hands for a class ability.

I dunno, I don't really see it as an advantage at all. There's lots of things that could be put into them just to help a class be more effective, not be more "advantageous".

Still lame that ninjas dont get offhand weapons like ffxi, but rather every dagger in the game comes in "pairs".
