Item Variety

[Vortigem]

With the release of EE2.7, and the wonderful product it is - I've once again begun to work on Dawn of Light and its custom GFX PD set.

My reason for making this post, is that I'm looking for a couple opinions.

Currently, these are my completed weapon varieties:

**Melees Have:**
one-handed weapons / one-handed weapon + shield / two-handed weapons
ranged weapons (bows)

**Hybrids have:**
one-handed weapons / two-handed weapons
ranged weapons (bows)

**Casters have:**
two-handed weapons (staves)

Obviously, casters are in need of further variety. The difficult part is that, the PD sheet only has so much room for graphics (and my sheet is nearly full) I can only fit 2 more weapon types in.

One item I was considering was a "Vambrace", or a small caster shield which favors the wrist. Vambrace would have lower stat bonuses, but grants that extra armor a caster could use for protection, especially in PvP.

Other than casters wielding a staff, what weapon style would you like to see as an alternative?

A) Orb / Vambrace (orb has very little melee damage, but grants great bonuses to stats)

B) Dagger / Vambrace (dagger is balanced between fair melee damage and stats)

C) Dagger / Orb (fair melee damage, higher stat bonus than wielding a staff)

D) Wand / Vambrace (wand grants good stats - however less than an orb, also grants magical ranged attack)

E) Other - please share

With wands, ranged combat wouldn't be limited to archer type classes - however I would ensure that archer classes would still be the masters at ranged combat.

Thank you.
