wd also love to know
Hi, Nojimlikeme and KenLeeZa,
To my knowledge, there is no current setting to do what you seek.
I'd suggest posting this in the Support forum for one purpose--to get it in front of Tony/CodenameG/Bambam so they can relay the omission to the HBdev team.
cheers,

Setting ranged will preserve a presently equipped off hand. I did this when I wanted to use a wand or dagger (meeting ilvl req to get into dungeons).
But offhand drops and loots are ignored afaik, and there is no option for wands, only daggers.
What this allowed me to do is keep preset green gear on a toon using AE2 while getting some of the other benefits of the AE2 plugin (mailing, rolling, vendor, etc )

Unfortunately, all ranged items were not added to AE2. I noticed that they only listed 'Bow' as a ranged option. However, I don't know if that encompasses 'crossbow' as well. I know they are missing 'wand' and 'gun' in the ranged catagory. It would be nice if they would add a new catagory in the drop-down, which would be 'Wand/Offhand' just as they have 'Shield/1h'. It would help the casters out.
For my casters I just switched it to use 2H weapons, and checked only Staff/Staves. It's not optimal, but it does help a little. Although, Botorific's idea sounds good too. I never though of trying that.
Yeah I only do it for special circumstances. By the end of the 80-85 lvl range I had all of my casters set the way zeldrak does - staff.
I had benefit of running a full five man, so I set one to get all the loot then hand out the drops manually. Geared my team that way.
When a better wand dropped, I used the ranged setting as needed. Alternatively you could sell/destroy the currently equipped weapon, equip the wand - and AE2 had no other gear in bags to switch to until the bot loots something else. Those are the ways I would "override" AE2.
Janky as hell, but it worked for my circumstances.
They will have to do some kind of additional coding to look @ scoring offhand + a mainland vs. single 2h I'll bet.
