Says saber, one-handed weapon, yet it acts like a two-handed weapon and takes up two slots. Is this normal for this item?

It takes up one slot, the Shield slot specifically. You always need to wield it two weapon style.

Is there some indication in the UI that it's an offhand-only item? Are there other weapons like that? 

got it, thanks for the help

It's like a torch.

It's very odd indeed that the UI does not indicate that this is "off-hand" only. It shows "one-hand", and I got confused when I couldn't equip it on Eder as his main weapon.

 

At least this post has cleared that up. Thanks.

Is that intended?:

No. And no idea (though probably torches- it looks like they just didn't do animations for right hand torches)

The game simply likes not being transparent sometimes.

Took me a minute to figure out what St Drogga's skull was in game. So yeah, seems basically like it's a "cool torch" more or less.

 

I'm thinking insta sell.

It's a bit like Xoti's lantern I guess but all it's info implies it works like a saber so I spent a good minute trying to equip it to Eder's main hand. 

It looks like a torch and functions like one

My character is a level 1 wood elf assassin rogue. the weapon cannot be wielded in primary hand, even in a 1 weapon configuration. The weapon is 1 handed

 

Additional information: my character can wield vanilla sabers in 1, both, hands, off or regular

except it also functions like an off hand saber with fire attack. I reported it in bug to see if its intentional.

I think it's intended. When you equip it it acts like a torch, which are also offhand only.

Heya everyone,

 

This is indeed intended. This weapon is supposed to mimic the functionality of a torch, which means it can only be equipped in the offhand. 

 

Hope that clears things up!

Any chances you guys alter the description or *somehow* make it apparant ingame that this should have been the case?
