Gunlance players spec Varric with daggers in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

I played about an hour of World and it didn't feel like it was for me... But the fact that you're into it sure is making me want to re-evaluate that.

Look, it's simple math that you're wrong about gunlance.

Lance = good
Gun = good
Lance + Gun = Gunlance
Therefore, Gunlance = goodgood

I signed up to ask a followup - where do you plot the other 7 weapons you didn't call out specifically (Bow, HBG, LBG, HH, IG, Lance, DB)?

So, I guess, let's break each into the difficulty for basic proficiency (BP), the added skill to hit optimal use (OU) and technical complexity (TC). With the proviso that while I've tooled around with everything at least once, I'm not a master of a lot of these, I'd lay it out roughly as:

Greatsword: BP High; OU Medium/low; TC Low
Longsword: BP Low; OU High; TC Low
Sword n Shield: BP Low; OU medium; TC medium/low
Dual Blades (*): BP low; OU Medium; tc medium
Hammer: BP High; OU Medium/high; TC Low.
HH (*): BP medium; OU high; TC high
Lance: BP low; OU medium; TC low

Gunlance(*): BP medium; ou medium; TC high
Switch Axe (*): BP medium/high; OU medium/low; TC high
Charge Blade (*): BP medium/low; OU low; TC Very High
Insect Glaive: BP Low; OU High; TC medium

Bow (*): BP Low; OU high; TC medium/low
Light Bowgun(*): BP low; OU medium; TC medium
Heavy Bowgun: BP medium; OU low; TC medium

Weapons marked with asterisks are ones I've spent the least time with, so I'm less confident with the indications.
