Yes to all of those, like I said, we will be able to change any part of the game. Going back to the topic at hand, changing axe/bw speeds does not require a client modification, it would be a wz edit which is something we can do. Changing damage calculations for axe/bw's is what is not possible at the moment.
Now that a new source has come out, what are the chances of these sorts of changes discussed in this thread being possible? If the limitations of changing multipliers or skills damages or speed of weapons was because of the old source, could these changes be implemented now? Obviously after the major fixes are done.
Just let Pally's use the Two-handed Terminus axe and Hammer and only those weapons. That way they cannot use a scrolled shield but still have massive attack power. Those weapons look like popsicles
I believe a precedent has been set with some of the buffs recently. I think its time we again take a look at the argument of buffing Axes and BW's to be more comparable to their Sword counterparts.
