with the upcoming GU37 DW to 1H change it seems like people who spent the time to complete the claymore series and selected the cutlass as their reward are getting wrecked. with the +33% scaling that used on test it will put the weapons at exact same stats in terms of DR, but the difference in the procs on the kilij vs the cutlass is massive, especially when considering that the dmg of the kilij is str based, making it one of the best melee dmg procs in game. that vs the 6s AE immunity which has a super small chance of ever really doing you any good seems like a pretty poor trade off. i dont think many people would choose the 1h version of the cutlass over the kilij and i think that with the amount of time people spent to get these weapons there should be some consideration given to people who might want to trade their cutlass for kilij after GU37. from the dev chat the other night it looks like devs are already ruling this out, but i think that swapping one for the other is reasonable, and the dev team should reconsider. related excerpt from dev chat: [tamat] Havoc of Permafrost - It’s been stated that they are revamping the AA line weapon requirements with RoK, do they intend to give any type of one time offer to trade epic quest rewards in for those of us that picked a weapon based on those current requirements. [aeralik] IN GU36, the weapon restrictions are being removed from the aa lines except for a few cases that require shields or ranged weapons [lyndro] The first part of a larger achievement revamp is going live with GU 36. With this first phase most of the weapons requirements for achievements are being removed. Your quest reward choices will remain, the weapons are still good after all. [lyndro] Since it is related, we also have an upcoming change on test that will allow you to wield any 1h weapon like a dual wield weapon, and all dual wield weapons will become 1h weapons. Of course some weapons will remain primary only.
