I wonder how large the scale of speed/delay will be for 1H weapons? I'm a 1H weapon kind of guy no matter what (unless there are combat staffs...which I sorely doubt) so if I can be equipped with a very very slow 1Her...and then pull out a very fast 1Her solo...I'd be pretty happy.

And for the win, here's Clipsy's second wish for weapons in Vanguard:

First installment was the 2H combat staff. Some kinda snickered, some thought it might be cool, even though it totally flies in the face of what's been normal.

Now, I'd like to express to you the love I have for Sword-breakers. Mmmm...For those who don't have any idea what I mean:
A Swordbreaker is a defensive weapon used for parrying in place of a shield. It gets its name because if used correctly, will often shatter the weapon it parries. Either that or disarms the opponent. Sometimes this is represented by a short-sword looking weapon with trenches dug into the blade so that it can catch a blade. The wielder would then twist his weapon and either wrench the sword out of the opponent's hand or break it in half, depending on how deep the sword was buried. For those who have just no idea what I'm talking about, it will be difficult to explain fully. Sometimes known as Sword-catchers, it's a 1-2 foot long short sword, but instead of a solid blade....it has teeth.

Hope that clears it up! *sigh* I'm a newb...it didn't work, assume that it's all in line, you should at least get the gist of it...

Obviously it wouldn't be able to break your opponent's weapon in VG, but it could be a disarming tool!
Also, another form of Sword-breakers are just gloves made of reinforced steel, with large spikes and knot holes on them...for the same reasons. That's a little too hard to draw, lol...but either one works.

So there you have it!
