Ooh yes, I'd forgotten about the weird two-slot items. I never used them specifically because it was too hard to actually compare stats. (Well, that and they're ugly armours and there's nothing to glamour replacement shoes onto...) And I've never ever understood which shield I should be using or how much difference it makes.

Mage wands on the other hand... as much as it's simpler to just have the one type of weapon, I liked the look of some of the white mage wands, and I think the casting animation was a bit different. Would be nice if there was some option to trade in your standard two-handed staff for an equivalent one-handed version so the old ARR wands can be used as glamours.
