now we're talking about HW... I must say FC didn't think before
putting HW as a Dark Blue skill for us... I mean why in the world is it even dark blue and only able to add 4 per lvl...?? On the other hand, while Soldiers don't have weapons better than the existing good weapons that uses HW, they're getting a HW buff....I think you may have realized that heavy weapon in AO does not only mean a weapon which is heavy, although this is the description that we get. Soldier and engie get easier HW than forcer probably means that HW is actually something like heavy guns/machines. If HW is simply just heavy, why not hammer and beam heavy then?While Your on that, make HW Light blue or something!
I doubt this will ever happen, according to how they design weapons. If you compare riders and longmoon, you'll find that they are very similar in terms of speed and damage. This is really strange at first, coz you can dual wield riders, but not longmoon, why a single rider can be similar to a 2he weapon? You can say that 2he is not good, but the reality is that Funcom thinks riders are too good, so an HW requirement is put there to make it "balanced". Maybe, it's too bold to say the following. For any melee weapons that are better than longmoon, you'll see a HW requirement in it.hmm actually I'd even settle for some good edged weapons like byoms and riders without that blasted HW requirement
