I'd love to play Deadfire with these changes made, since this means that whatever kind of weapon style I pick, it'll be a pretty unique and engaging bonus that comes with it.

Hey all!

 

Thank you for this data! Just wanted to comment we have eyes on these 7 pages of beautiful info I sound like a broken whatever-the-deadfire-equivalent-of-record-is, but we sincerely do appreciate the time and effort you have all put forth in helping us with the beta

 

You the best!

J'espère bien, on est tous de bon conseil : p J'essaye de penser à la fois aux hardcores gamers et aux novices. Pour que tout le monde y trouve son compte à la fin. En tout cas j'ai hâte de tester le jeu final !

Puisque qu'on est en "French" mode, félicitations à tous pour tout ce travail !

Back to the subject, some thoughts on the one handed style. I like the suggestion of giving him accuracy (and nerfing the offhand on two weapons).

But i think we should add a little something.
Here is some ideas :

•     +5 reflex, seems logical because you need less concentration using one hand
•     +5 fortitude, to reward the use of a light weapon
•     Full attack : +5% chance to bypass armor

I think there is no reason why single wielding should increase defenses ( thats what shields are for).

A change to ignore armor would have made sense in the DR system of PoE1, but not with the penetration system of PoE2.

 

I think the suggestions of The balthazar are good.

If they work in practice we can only tell if the current system is ever changed.

Let me reformulate : Full attack : 5% chance to overpenetrate (so overriding your armor - penetration)

It was just some thoughts to boost the One handed characters because, well, it is the worst...

But i agree with you that the suggestions of theBalthazar are good.
