Now that we are joyfully giving new ideas about melee attacks, I want add
mine.

If weapon was wielded in two hands it should hit much harder than in 1 hand
(not 2x but something like 1,5x) and give +++hit. Basic idea was that wielding
only 1 weapon could be an option. This would give more variery, so that you
could use small races (dwarf,barso,...) better in tanking, because atleast
small axes/bluds/poles are hard to come by.

This is an old idea and has been proposed several times. I doubt it'd be that
much of a tune issue to implement it... It is plain stupid that all tank
guilds use weapons in all wieldable limbs because that's by far the best way
sc
to deal the maximum amount of damage. (And yes, Batmud IS, whether you like it
or not, a minmaxmud so don't bother flaming about "but you don't need to
minmax") ...
Anyways please consider following: D&D-style rangers would be the 2-weapon
specialists. Crimsos would do it with a shield. Barbs use HUGE mauls and great
axes etc in 2 hands. Locs use 2h sword or smaller chaosblade and a shield...
Spiders could use 2 shortblades, reavers 2-h polearms...

oh yeah, and give sabres huge cadence bonus when wielding only one blade =)

pretty please implement this before I get the lacking 42M exp and rebirth to a
tank! =)
