The stigmas will make this possible.

About Sets, do they have equip sets? Like in Diablo2. That give bonus effects etc.

I've noticed that the Scout classes, Assassins and Rangers, can have 2 weapon sets. One ranged and one melee, the effectiveness of a weapon set is determined by which class is played. Do the other classes, for example Templars and Gladiators, have the same options, so that Templars can weild a 2 handed weapon aswell as there 1 handed weapon + shield and Vice Versa?

I thought I read something about every class being able to weild any kind of weapon due to stigma, but will it be effective?

If only the Scout classes can weild 2 sorts of weapon sets, wouldn't that be a slight advantage over other classes?

Again, sorry if this has already been brought up, I've read the threads that are similar to my title but I couldn't find any answers.

Thanks!

I'll have my main weapon ( My big *** 2her dps weapon ) and a Shield and sword when I'm getting my *** spanked.

Difference between a dual wielding gladiator and a plate wearing assassin is that the assassin is obviously better with his weapons while the gladiator obviously benefits more from the stats granted from the armor.

Agreed. Templars are supposed to be a tank class, without a shield they will get no shield blocking ability and lose alot of defence, so stripping them of the shield will be pointless.

I dont think if some classes can use 2 types of weapons it in balances other classes, cause the other classes will have passives and attacking skills to even out the DPS.

In lineage 2 for instance, there is a few classes that can use 2 types of weapons, but the skills used for the other weapon is limited and they usually are better with thier main type of weapon than thier secondary one.

Plus, templars need their shield for alot of their moves, or at least some handy ones like blocking attacks, etc. This is how it should work for most classes -_-

I think for soloing the templar should be able to be better then in most games.
the endless "attack,-block,-attack,-block" wich makes a fight last forever could be one of the bigger downsides if you ask me.
Or else your going to have huge level differences because a templar cant level efficiently.
but then again it gives me hope that you can take any skills youd want with the stigma's
because when someone who'd want to level a quick templar he could take all the "dps/nuke" skills
to just quickly kill mobs. but then again he would regret that when he's level 50 when he isnt needed for attacking but protecting.

Why can't I just have two shields? I'm a pacifist (sarcasm) and it'd be wicked awesome to be able to block every attack (not entirely sarcasm).
