Did we ever get clarification on which weapon groups are moving to agility based weapons outside of bows? I’m assuming it’s all ranged (which does that included 1H spears?) and daggers but I can also see katanas and short swords.
The one I am really on the fence with is 2H spears since I can easily see them being either type of weapons.
You guys want them to tell you everything, there will be nothing left to explore when the update goes on TestLive/Live.
It would be great to see a game where bows actually depend on strength for once. Nimbleness may help you reload faster, but when it comes to drawing a war bow, one needs to be strong. Remember Odysseus?
Close combat weapons should be dependent on both strength and agility. All of them. Some are more strength-based, others more agility-based, but if you’re weak, you won’t hurt an armored opponent and tire quickly, and if you’re clumsy, you’re dead before your lack of strength becomes a thing to be concerned about.
Here comes “Mr. Realism” guy again…
People get into your heads that there is a thing called “balance” in games. Real life can be extremely unbalanced and unfair.
I expect them to be Strength weapons. Just because of PvP and perk balance. There are some perks you can’t miss out on some attributes.
Not sure why you replied to me. Nothing I said contradicts what you said. Please don’t seek a conflict where there is none.
Didint they mention in the stream that they would be removing attributes all together from weapons and armor ?.
A question that’s probably beyond most people these days, sadly. 
Anyway, just for the sake of those who may not be aware, that’s why the fantasy trope of bows being a better option for women is, well, fantasy. A medieval style bow means ballpark 100 pounds or more draw weight, and that’s actually a little on the low end. Some estimates go a whole lot higher. That basically means you need enough upper body strength to pull something apart with 100 pounds of force. And do it repeatedly if you want to fire more than one arrow. Even with modern bows used for hunting, you’re still looking at roughly 50, 60 pounds or so on average.
Also makes all those movie scenes with characters being surrounded by archers with bows drawn for five minutes a bit silly.
I’m excited to find out and try some builds
sooner we know everything the better. i personally wish the test live would drop right now so i can see if its worth keeping this game installed.
