Characters can equip two [[one-handed weapon]]s, a one-handed weapon and a [[shield]], or a [[two-handed weapon]].  
==Weapon sets==
Characters can equip two [[one-handed weapon]]s ([[dual wielding]]), a one-handed weapon and an [[off-hand]], or a [[two-handed weapon]]. Weapons can only be equipped directly into the off-hand slot while dual-wielding. Additionally, [[Bow]]s can be equipped with a [[quiver]].


Additionally, certain weapon classes can be equipped together with specific off-hand items:
Characters can equip [[Weapon set|two sets of weapons]], and switch between them through a keybind for [[weapon swap]]ping. Each of your [[skill]]s can be assigned one or both specific weapon sets; if a skill is assigned to the opposite weapon set only, weapon set is swapped automatically when using that skill. It will be possible to lock one weapon to be used on both sets.
* [[Bow]]s can be equipped with a [[quiver]]
* [[Crossbow]]s grant a special socket for [[Attachment]] skill gems
* [[Spear]]s can be equipped with a [[shield]]


Characters can equip two sets of weapons, and switch between them through a keybind for [[weapon swap]]ping. Each of your [[skill]]s can be assigned a specific weapon set, which is swapped automatically when using that skill.
Additionally, [[shapeshift]] forms will also use a separate third weapon set. Generally, shapeshifting forms cannot equip items in their hands as these slots become disabled.


Most weapons have certain base stats: base [[physical damage]] or [[elemental damage]], [[critical strike chance]], [[attack speed]], and. These can be directly modified with [[local]] modifiers. Additionally, [[melee]] weapons have [[weapon range]]s, which affect the distance from which they can physically [[strike]] enemies.
==Martial weapons==
'''Martial weapons''' are weapons that are used to [[attack]] with directly. Martial weapons have base [[physical damage]] or [[elemental damage]], [[critical hit]] chance, and [[attack speed|attack time]]. These can be directly modified with [[local]] modifiers. Additionally, each [[melee]] weapon [[item class]] has an innate weapon range, which determines the [[distance]] from which they can physically [[strike]] enemies.


Certain weapon types such as [[sceptre]]s, [[wand]]s, [[staves]], and [[trap]]s have no base damage stats as they cannot attack directly, and instead have unique stats such as base [[Spirit]] or throw time. They also have different pools of modifiers that suit their archetypes.
===Weapon range===
Martial weapons have the following base ranges:
{{#cargo_query:
|tables = items, weapons
|join on = items._pageID=weapons._pageID
|fields = items.class=Item class, weapons.weapon_range=Range
|where = items.rarity_id = "normal"
  AND weapons.weapon_range IS NOT NULL
  AND items._pageNamespace = 0
|group by = items.class
|order by = weapons.weapon_range, items.class_id
}}


==Caster weapons==
'''Caster weapons''' are weapons that give bonuses to [[spell]]s or [[minion]]s and are not used to attack with. All caster weapons come with an inherent skill. They also have different pools of modifiers that suit their archetypes.
[[Wand]]s, [[Staff|staves]], and [[sceptre]]s are caster weapons.
==Traps==
[[Trap]]s have no base attack stats and cannot be used to attack directly. Traps are used exclusively for Trap skills and have stats that determine the trap's arming time and type of detonation (Manual or Proximity).

Each of your skills can be assigned one or both specific weapon sets; if a skill is assigned to the opposite weapon set only, weapon set is swapped automatically when using that skill. It will be possible to lock one weapon to be used on both sets.

Additionally, shapeshift forms will also use a separate third weapon set. Generally, shapeshifting forms cannot equip items in their hands as these slots become disabled.

Martial weapons
