The Rapier of Lifesteal will be considered a Two Handed Weapon.
(no more shields for you!)
and Sir Mino,
assuming you will care the most about this tidbit...
the ElyR is also going to be a Two Handed Weapon,
so... no dual wielding ElyR's for 16ap
NOW THAT JUST STINKS This hurts us defensive minded players to much!
I had decided yesterday that the ELyR fit my defensive build better than the RoL does b/c the RoL requires high AC to be worth it and I would rather level-up BC.
Making those 2 swords two-handed would take away the 2 best non-critical hit weapons in the game from me. I have already "invested" in the upgraded remgard shield in 2 builds that I would no longer be able to use if my 2 favs were made two-handed. Oskar, I am begging you to not make this change.

really, the main issue as it stands is...
a rapier is a one handed fencing foil, very thin and light...
the name would need to be changed to suit a larger, heavier sword.
E.G. Claymore of Lifesteal?
and hey, tek... better to know now - then when v0.6.12 hits...
more time to ready your new build!

Oskar is on vacation for a week or so - we shall see...
(he had to miss the meeting today)
we won't hear anything too quickly.
but rest assured, it will be discussed.
although, i'm sure he didn't make the classification choices lightly...
as disappointing as it sounds - i wouldn't be surprised if we got a solid 'no'.
trust me, i was hoping it would be classified as any of the one handed blade types...
and defensive builds are not the only builds to benefit from a sword like this!
The two best swords in the game can only be held in both hands?
Sounds like a way to control balance, by limiting the power of one handed weapons...
so it stinks for my build,
but i'm assuming it's his way of keeping really strong items balanced.

The Rapier of lifesteal shouldn't be two handed, if you really have to change it to a two-handed weapon, you should change its name as well. Rapiers are light and flexible swords that are used for stabbing at the tip and parrying at the forte.

lady luck smiles upon us!
and may the luck continue!!!
Yeah, you make me sick sometimes
No duel weilding... that's not a worry for me, the only legendary item i have is the RoLS.
Getting one is hard enough, lady luck has abandoned me lately.
This hurts us defensive minded players to much!
