Weapons and How to Improve Them

BRAD_AoC

Current State of Weapons
Weapons at the start of Alpha 2 feel extremely bland. This is mostly due to their skill trees offering very few options that alter your gameplay in a meaningful way. The vast majority of the tree is filled with unimpactful +1% xyz" stats, which don't feel satisfying to spec into and are hardly noticeable in combat. This leads to weapons massively lacking identity and depth, and overall like a pretty lame part of the otherwise well designed combat system.

What I'd like to see in the Future

• less but more impactful nodes to spec into
• gameplay altering passives that differ per weapon type
• 1-3 active abilities to truly add some identity to weapons and create more build variety
• "+1% xyz" stats largely moving into the sidebar that levels up passively
• incentivizing the player to make meaningful choices with up & downsides

Enchanting is just adding +1 (each attempt) to a weapon (or gear) at the moment; memory serves enchanting will be much more in the future like adding fire damage to a weapon. I know you're talking about the skill trees but enchanting is a parallel and I can't wait for it to be implemented further.
