ok a few (unpractical) ideas:
(to understand this we put each of the melee weapons into 2 classes: heavy and light.)
instead of light med and heavy stances just have
offence and defence stances!
LIGHT WEAPONS (daggers etc.)
this class of weapon attacks VERY fast and can attack many times in a given amount of time (about 4x/sec) but do little damage.
Defensive stance: on left hand a weapon. right hand a weapon
left-clicking will do attacks with BOTH weapons.(or alternate between L/R?)
right-clicking will do a defensive move with both weapons
offensive stance: on left AND right hands hold a weapon.
left clicking attacks with left weapons
right-click attacks with right weapon
MED. WEAPONS (smaller ax, swords except katana)
these weapons do med damage and med rate of attack (about 2/sec) but are the most flexable in combat. it is also the only class with a shield.
def. stance: right hand a shield, left-hand a weapon (or switch?)
left clicking will attack with the weapon
right-clicking will make them raise thier shield towards the direction pressed.
offensive stance: right hand a weapon, and left hand a shield
left click attacks with left weapon(a heavier, slower, more damaging attack)
right click raises the shield, but much slower now. also in direction pressed
HEAVY WEAPONS (double ax, hammer, and katana)
heavy weapons are big, cumbersom, and slow(about 1 swing/sec), but knock the crap out of anyone they hit. also both hands are needed to control theses heavy weapons of war. these also (usualy) have the best range and damage.
def. stance:right and left hand hold the same weapon
left clicking attacks with the weapon
right clicking blocks with the weapon
offensive stance:
left clicking attacks from left to right or form top to bottom
right clicking attacks from right to left or from bottom up
i know is a little complicated but i think it would be bad@$$!!!!!!!
and yes i know it would be alot of work and prb wont happen.
but hey just an idea..
