[QUOTE="Derren, post: 6065988, member: 2518"] But I am not talking about wizard weapon vs. fighter weapon, but a crit fighter weapon vs. a accuracy fighter weapon. As long as weapons are different, even when balanced, not all fighters want the same weapon and thus when presented the same loot some will use the weapon and some not. Same result as before. Still doesn't change that some weapons are better than others in some situations. You will not get rid of that, so accept it and use it for a better game. It hasn't, but I think it should instead of making weapons unimportant like some people are advocating. I guess all the medieval fighting manuals about fighting guys in armor with a sword were lying then.
