Seeing as artifact runes work as follows:

1 of a given type on one handers, 2 of a given type on two handers

I think it would be appropriate if pureblades and axelords could put two of each type of forging rune on their weapon. As it stands, they can put one of each type on their one weapon, while blademasters and bonecrushers can place a full set on each weapon.

Ehh, I don't see the need for this. I may be wrong but I am under the impression that weapon stat increase are more effective for two-handers than one-handers. If so, there's no point in making such a change.

If this is the case, I withdraw my suggestion! Seeing as it's the same thing. I just assume(d) it was the same flat rate for both weapons. (And if that actually is the case, then see original post )

Forging runes work as follows:

For one-handers, there is +10/+10/+10 from the respective runes.
For two-handers, there is +20/+22/+10 from the respective runes, which is in scale with the statistical differences on 2-hand weapons.

There's no advantage or disadvantage between the two as far as forging runes are concerned.
