Okay, I'm just doing this for fun, okay? Don't you think there could be Slinger rifles, or dual wield weapons? Like, double shot with dual wield is one shot per gun, or something? All the warrior classes get secondary weapons. (PA, BW, and Axes) Magicians get wands and staffs. I think there should be secondary weapons for all classes. A brawler one could be a rapier, or a cutlass, or something. It just seems a little more fun like that. Different builds, and such. They could even make new sub-classes off that, such as Rifleman, or Dueler. Wizet could make a clear difference between daggers and cutters for Shadowers, and maybe Claws and Wristguards for Sins. (Yeah, I know wristguards are shields for dits, w.e). Bowmen would be kinda hard, but w/e. I'm not going to make a custom class thread, or anything like that. Not logging a ticket, either. Just thinking.

Haha, I really like this idea Fist! Lol, now I'm going to sleep, good night. (Bowmen should have knives on the end of their bows lol)

I kinda like that idea, though it would get pretty confusing (and expensive). But more customization in an rpg is rarely a bad thing. I think gunslingers would benefit most from it.

this is a nice idea... but interferes with shields. shield prices would plummet to almost nothing. -edit- in REGULAR ECONOMICS... it'd throw off the balance... and all those people trying to benefit from merchanting shield scrolls would basically... lose millions... and... the price of weapon attack scrolls and what not... would... sky rocket. thus... you'd throw the balance into chaos... but hey, who cares? :D Maple will manage.

It would require A LOT of thought. And work. It's not impossible though.

very good idea bowmen could have thrown items etc.

Umm, how would shield prices plummet? I really didn't say anything about that.

I dont believe a job having two choices of weapon is considered having a 'secondary' weapon. its just a choice between two weapons.

Well, if you give people a choice between added defense or increased attack ability, in an mmorpg that primarily benefits from attacking hard and fast to level up more efficiently, people would pick a secondary weapon over using a shield. Something like 2 handed swords over 1 handed, but even worse. But like the above poster posted, why not add a little chaos into the equation? I still think it'd be fun. I loved using dual lightsabers in KOTOR.

I meant having two different choices of weapons to choose from. -EDIT- That would be interesting though, but it would only work for warriors (and maybe dits). Double-Wand Mage, anyone?

that was one of my ideas for the shadowers take away the shield but gives you a chance to use another dagger instead. x2 savage blow etc

I don't think it would work. And doesn't Maple already have that?
