If that's the case... I wonder if they will simply leave the two weapon slots, and allow us to equip whatever we wanted, either 1 2H or DW, but hunters would not have melee attacks with those weapons.

That would be the simplest, since the two slots are already there, and all other classes will have those 2 slots.

Guns/bows simply get equipped as a 2Her. (which leave open the possibility for DW range weapons in the future.

And that's what I'm hoping for. :) Just for the option!

Actually, I'm imagining a team of tiny "Winter's Little Helper" style gnomes swarming all over you like a pit crew and keeping everything in order ;)

Hmm, more dextrous, could probably get by with fewer...but I'm afraid they'd unionize, and demand things like breaks, safety gear, overtime pay, and a strict limit on the number of wipes/day. My hatchlings will work for dino treats.

Engineers will get a swarm of clockwork gnomes.

Wow just wow nobody even commented on my post srsly its brilliant there would be a secondary slot using the old ammo slot icon(the one where it had an arrow that would point to the ranged slot) so u would have a slot for ur rp/cosmetic weapons it wouldnt impact your stats at all either,
Image simply put a 2h in ur ammo(secondary) slot and it would appear on your back and u could switch between the two weps out of combat and when u went in combat it would (*TaDa!*) still be on ur back!

That's certainly better than making us choose between equipping a ranged or a melee weapon. :)

I am so happy that we can keep our melee weapons for show! I'm totally cool with no more actually melee fighting, and point blank use of ranged weapons. But I have two plus bags of shiny weapons on Kaelys that I've been collecting for years and the thought of never being able to wear them ever again made me sort of sad.
