[QUOTE="Olrox17, post: 8994857, member: 6801397"] I'd leave the rogue situation alone for a moment, I have already recognized they would require a separate buff to compensate. Yeah, the more I think and talk about it, the more realize I [I]really[/I] dislike the aesthetic of two weapon fighters flailing, swinging, or stabbing with both of their swords at the same time, in the same direction[I].
