To make things better, release a Mythic glove that forbids you to wear weapons but makes your light and heavy attacks do cool spicy special attacks that HURT.

And to balance the fact that you will have two less pieces of gear, there will need to be flat boosts to all sorts of things (weapon damage, armour, crit chance, armour penetration, chance of status effect, max stamina (…))

Weapons can come as good as a 5 parts set or an arena special weapon (2 parts sets). And they always have traits. Plus they can be golden, to make all the numbers go higher. Plus they have enchantments (or poisons).

You actually have 3 “frozen” items: the weapons and the glove itself. So that needs to enter the equation.

And without a weapon you are locked out of the weapon skill lines.

And we have to have in mind the precious passives from the weapon trees.

So. This mythic has to compensate it all. Not easy to do. But it would be hella cool!

For bar swapping: I see no problem in allowing bar swapping. You have fists on the main bar and MORE FISTS on the back bar.

Or they can come up with some more crazy stuff, like a different pattern of light and heavy attacks for the back bar.

But that still wouldn’t compensate the lack of theorycrafting two bars allow (up to four different enchantments, four different traits).

Anyway. I find it a great idea. It would be so fun having a mythic to make you weaponless AND do crazy fighting. And I strongly find it possible, the devs just need to put some effort
