Imagine you get a loot of 2 x one handed weapon. That would be fair. 2 x 1H = 1 x 2H weapon, right? So if 2H weapon drops to you, you have an advantage over dual wielders.
Lets say you play a Mage. You get a 445 ilvl Wand and you only have 410 ilvl offhand. I am sure you would rather see a 445 ilvl Staff drops for you. Now you need to take more time to get an equal ilvl off hand. It doesn’t seem fair to me.
What if Blizzard would put 1H weapons/shields/Books in the category of “double looting system”? So you would always get a loot of one handed weapon + another one handed weapon or shield or off hand, depends on class/spec you play.
Imagine you get two daggers as a Rogue in one single loot! Or a 1H mace + Shield as Holy Paladin.
Why do everything have to be “fair”? Classes are different, enjoy that instead.

Because if would be just a simple “fix”.
I understand that it would be simple, I just dont aggree that it needs to be “fixed”, it is not broken.

It does sound logic, but tbh I don’t mind the current system. Yes it takes longer to get 2 1h weapons but it’s also double the joy when you get both

As a DH I can have one weapon with some proc and other with another proc.
So it’s harder to get but potentially stronger than 1 2H.
Same with Fury warrior and gettiku ( KR ) sword bleed effect

been asking for this for years, no hope as yet, Its especially annoying when I want to tank, 1h and shield are a pain to get.

Artifact weapons.
Many will disagree, and many will agree, but they were by far the coolest weapons, and getting relics for me wasn’t unsatisfying, because they go into your weapon.

what about warriors who can duel wield two 2Handers? since they can duel wield should two 2handers drop for them at the same time cause two 1handers drop for you?

Good question. That’s why I think that they would rather add a chance that 2x 2H weapons and 2x 1h weapons can drop. So when you kill a boss there is a chance that 1x 2H or 1H will drop or 2x 2H or 1H will drop.
In any case, you will either give one extra weapon away or vendor it like you vendor everything else that you get as a crap.
In the next step we should introduce dual swords/ daggers in one slot like every asian mmo has lol.
World of Lineage!
Ye while i liked them, i hate them at same time, they were so unbalanced where 1 class/spec needed just highest ilvl while other one needed specific traitx3 to be viable.
Same system i hate now about azerite traits, while they add something to your spec, some specs requires specific traits and feel unfinished and weak compared to others without them…

Because everyone wants everything to be fair the game is losing appeal imo.
Stop focusing on others and focus on your own fun?

may make it easier to get your items but it reduce your build possibilities (1 enchant, 1 proc, 1 set of stats)
don’t really like it tbh
I mean, off course, a pair of 1H weapons won’t be fixed as a one set such as Artifact weapons. You would still be able to change your main hand or off hand with the one with higher ilvl or/and better stats on it.
While it’s not a big deal getting two one handed swords, axes, maces or daggers it is quite hard to loot a shield for a Holy/Prot Paladin, Prot warrior, Ele/Resto Shaman. Don’t let me start when a 2H mace/staff drops for ele/resto shaman three times in a row …
If we wanted fair, then we would have had one class, one race, one faction and one role for everything.
Things aren’t supposed to be equal for everything.
Just farm the offhand.
Maybe not but he/she still has a point. Having 2x1h does not give you an advantage over 1x2h. The stats are pretty much the same when you combine the two, yet it takes twice the effort to obtain the 2x1h. I would not say that it is unfair or fair but it is weird.
Offhand should be dropped with the main hand. Imagine this: You are in a raid and a boss drops a wand and a book for offhand. The book is not the offhand you want but at least you have something that is similar in ilvl and can be used while you farming the correct one. This way you do not have to put away that wand into your bank and hope that the offhand will drop one day.
I mean how would anyone feel if the 2h weapons dropped in pieces and until you collect both you could not use them?

Just what the game needs more simplification and more streamlining…
Poor comparison. If your logic persists, Blizzard can buff lets say Enhancement shaman’s dmg for 300% and survivability for 200% just because they want to create a super hero spec. Hey, you wouldn’t expect this game to be fair aren’t you?
Lets get further into this: imagine you loot a single piece of bracer, shoulder, glove and shoe instead of getting them in a pair …

Mmm, if you think about it, that might actually not be so bad if the drop rate was greatly increased, imagine having left right boot etc and all of them gave stats.
I don’t think anyone tried this so far, but it might work.
Personally i really like having a lot of slots for gear, it will not happen in wow, but i do hope they bring back secondary weapon, or the totem, relic etc slot just for rp and slightly more stats.
Although it would definitely not work if it was left as it currently is, you would just piss off the wast majority of your playerbase.
