so you would think they would upgrade UA because every melee char is sword or 2h these days. but in Feb they will downgrade to light melee weapons for ua!? is there any hope for us Uaers???

I actually have 2 UA Characters. Plus one Sho Sword toon that does have UA Spec. (he does not use UA, but if I wanted to throw a Cestus on him... well, then he would have all the damages covered.

BUT... after the Feb patch, I have no idea what I am going to do do with what characters.

I still like the looks of may of the UA's... so lets hope that they do well.

I am not ready for all these damn changes.

light melee weapons will be about speed. Just like UA is now. I hit for a small amount. But really fast.

Light melee is useless. For the same cost (and damage) finesse gives much better attribute sync and for more cost heavy gives more damage. Absolutely no one will want to stay light if it is their primary weapons skill. All UA/Axe/Mace etc will be better off switching to finesse or heavy but light is gimped for a main attack skill. The painful part will be getting all new weapons. We will get transfer gems for imbues/slayers etc but its still gonna be a chore to get all the salvage to tink them back up once you find them. If going heavy grab swords now and if finesse daggers. I'm hoarding every key I can as I have 4 characters I will be switching from light. Hopfully they will give us a quest weapons exchanger but that is gonna be a major pita as well.
