What is with the lack of weapon variety in this game?

You're telling me the only way to be a shield tank is using a strength weapon?

Cmon boys, this stuff has been solved since Ultimata online.

Time to mod I guess. Great game, just awful dev balancing.

I'm not sure a Dodge tank is especially feasible in a game with a LOT of AoE magic... but what you want is a Rogue, I think, with Parry Master and lots of Finesse (assuming that boosts dodge tank).

I'm not even sure Regular tank is feasible without a Taunt which bypasses armor.

It's not "awful dev balancing" just because the game isn't designed for your specific class preference.

There actually are variations of daggers that look like rapiers. Example:


Most weapon skills will follow the attribute of your primary weapon. So if you use this rapier for instance, Crippling Blow, Battlestomp, etc. scale with Finesse.

For all I know, these different finesse weapons may drop more often later on in the game.
