Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Game Balance : Melee is terrible

Well the Disscussion is quite nice. Except for some Random Persons.
So lets see:
Nearly everyone thinks one handed is not worth it and i stated all the Reasons why it is inferior to Two Handed.
On the other hand we have Hiver who said its equal because of ... well yeah Reasons.
Wow I am impressed.
One Handed is clearly as good as Two Handed.

I also liked it when you said "Character builds do not have a single role. "
You are totally right. Thanks to the Tons of Men at Arms Skills we have Melees have a lot of Roles.
Like dealing Damage or dealing Damage. I also like how they can Deal Damage.
Lets see what we have for Equipment.
Since we cant tank and just deal Damage. Hmm i could use this clearly Superior One Handed Weapon ( Thanks Hiver for pointing it out ) or use a Weapon that actually deals Damage.

Thats so diverse and good. I should clearly use my Shield to attack. OH WAIT it doesnt work.
The only use for Shields is absorbing Damage. Which i cant!
