Weapon differences post-BB

According to threads, only 2H Swords, 2H Axes, 2H Blunt Weapons, Bare Hands, and Bows (not sure on Crossbows) were changed. I would presume with the 2H weapon that they received a slight increase to compensate for the fact that shields would instantly double the amount of potential you can have. I'm not sure why they wouldn't include Spears and Polearms as well since the warriors in general are pretty balanced before the multiplier change.

Really? I can understand not wanting to change 1h weapons because like you said, shields present extreme advantages over 2h because of potential. Bare hands and bows are kind of an odd change, since i concluded that bare hands was changed to be useless due to the fact that...well bare hands IS useless. Only reason i can think of for bows being changed is just because crossbows have way too many advantages over them but that seems to be more a problem with the skill set of crossbow classes compared to bow classes. Though i would have to see the changes to form any kind of opinion about it of course.
