Why must this happen?
I'd much rather see more one handed weapons come out than to do away with them altogether.

From the live letter, they've mentioned in 3.2 that Paladins will have shields drop alongside the swords, so they don't need to chase after two drops instead of one. Why not apply this to the mages and give them single handed options again?
