[General] Vanity off-hands: A suggestion

  1. Grorlond <Angler>, 3 years ago:

    I think items that can currently be equipped in the off-hand but don't really do anything other than look cool should be changed to one-hand equip instead of off-hand. For instance, if Old Ironjaw and Old Crafty could be equipped in either hand, wouldn't it be awesome to walk around Dalaran dual-wielding Azeroth's most legendary urban fish? I can't think of a downside. I doubt twinks would get any unfair advantage from them, since the only stat they have is stamina, and aside from twinks, who wields OI and OC for any reason other than to look awesome?

    I actually had the same idea a while back when I got rather excited about the idea of carrying around a rose and a wine glass at the same time (don't ask), then realized to my chagrin that I couldn't do it because they're both off-hand items.

    At any rate ... if anyone else has any thoughts about this, whether you agree or simply think I'm a nut, please respond! Perhaps we can petition Blizzard to fix this. :)

    I like the idea,and indeed,have thought the same as you.
    However,I can't realistically see Blizzard changing them to one-hand,as the Steelscale Crushfish,Rockhide Strongfish and Dark Herring are all one-handers.

    Shame really,but I guess it gives you the incentive to catch those too :)

    I dual wield two rockhide strongfish...that solves that!

    The reason they aren't main hands is because they aren't weapons at all...if they were considered swords or maces or whatever, then yeah...

    Maybe make both a 1h sword with 0.8 dps? That'd be on par with a beginner grey. No problems there with balance, and it would discourage twinks from using them for anything more than what they were intended for.
