Serious Thought - Off Hand Questions

[KoujiMoreno]

Other MMOs have the option for offhand/1H mainhand vs 2h handed weapon maybe someday this game will try it.

In 1.0, most (all?) of the classes had an offhand that was a ranged attack. PGL/MNK had throwing discs.

Yes, yes it did. But the OP specifically mentioned PGL/MNK's off hand being a second fist weapon (well, OP said "second glove" which I assume was referencing a fist weapon anyway), hence my attention to that route. I for one used the chakrams often, but since SE doesn't want ranged ammo items that wouldn't work anyway.

Tho OP wants the AMMO slot for this purpose. ^^;

The only thing I'd like to see explained is why all the Dol / DoH have them, except Fishing. Fishing should have a catcher's net or something like it.

Im game for this. I was actually wondering this myself, specifically in the case of bards. True, we have a two handed bow that we use, but we also play on a two handed harp that we use for songs (bow is automatically sheathed when song is played).

I'd personally would prefer having different instruments with different buffs (increase accuracy for example) and bonus status effects (and instrument that can stun or sleep a target for x amount of seconds? Lame example, yes, but the first I could come up with)

Also, the fact that the original bard character art has them sporting a flute, not a harp like they have in game. Im somewhat curious as to why tho choose a harp out of all things...

It will have something at some point. It had a spear for spearfishing in 1.0, and they took it out and are going to change it, when though is another story.

they can do it like FFXI with weapon straps, but they'll need to balance the two handed weapons against one handed ones.
