This is by far one of the aspects of 3.1 I'm most excited for. I'm curious if there's any plans, with all the parry and shield kajiggering, to consider providing a parry buff for holding an offhand weapon based on Offhand skill and the weapons skill?
I envision my characters who have trained for it to be holding two weapons far more frequently now, and it would be neat if thematically and mechanically this setup provided some kind of defensive bonus as well.
That said, I'm not sure how to factor it properly. Perhaps if Weapon and Offhand are withing 10% of one another, provide a 10% bonus to parry when dual wielding? Or maybe I'm jumping the gun and all this is better suited for defensive maneuvers (if those are even being considered).
