Predicament

[balliztik1]

So, I'm gonna throw some questions around and let's see what people have to say.

Consider this situation. You're playing WoW, and you're a badass, duel-wielding warrior. You've got an awesome weapon in your main hand that you'll never get rid of. It defines who you are, basically. You've known and relied on its abilities countless times and have perfected using it. Your off-hand weapon, however, sucks. It's practically non-existant. You need to replace it. So, you go a-questing, and complete this one epic, awesome quest whose details are vague and are ready for your reward. And the quest-giver offers you one of two blades.

One is almost identical to your main-hand sword. You love it, so having another would greatly increase the effect to which you play your character. Since you've mastered its effects, you already know what to do and wouldn't have to readjust for it.

The other couldn't be more different. It offers a completely new array of effects and abilities than the first choice. These abilities aren't like your main-hand weapon, but adding them to your repetoir would increase your diversity. You'd have to get used to this new item, though, since its effects are so different.

And then again, this could be the decision that ultimately turns you onto shields. Your friend has had a shield saved for you for a while now, but you were never really into shields.

So, which would you choose, Eclipse community?
