How is it gonna work? In RL, using two blades comes with LOTS of practice, if I were a dev, i'd put the cert on blademaster, and make an 'extension' of fencer. I wouldnt really call it an elite elite proffession because it would probably on have like 2 skill trees that give you dual wield speed, dodge(although block and counter sound a lot more reasonable...block with one sword, counter with the other), dual CoB, CoB dur, and whatever else. But I think that it should require LOTS of dual exp, like...in the high hundred thousands at novice and on to the millions nearing master...just a thought

That would be amazing. My only hope is that they put it at Blademaster so that those of us who go all the way to master are rewarded, making it more apparent the difference between the masters and the dabblers.

Ridux i agree with you that gaffs shouldnt be dual wield due to the way they are held but stun batons are wielded just like every other sword and are small in size so i dont see the problem with them.

I'm really new to fencer (just got blademaster yesterday) but that sounds really really fun, and I already know that I'm going to keep fencer for awhile so I'll definitely love the dual wield. Gonna be hella fun.

They may put limits on the stats of each wielded weapon you know...Like a total of 230 possible maximum damage for both wielded swords and/or pistols or some number like that, and speed at like 3.5 or 2.5 for both, minimum damage at like 110 or 85m but both HAM costs stack, so a stun baton with 50 mind cost and another stun at 50 mind cost would be 100 mind points used for a single special! I know it would look cool, but balance is what the Devs want.


I mean, Balance is thrown out the window when some Duel-wielding Master Fencer/Master Pistoleer with acklay-sliced stun batons or geo-blasters sliced/krayt running around buffed, with 80% composite, is spinning and twirling dealing 2000 damage per second and spamming "I m L337 uber doodz 4thewinz heh PWNZ!!"


I don't want that...but i want a nicely balanced and graphically appealing duel-wield weapon system! those devs must be nuts wanting to fix this stuff all the time lol, must drive them insane...

Scary thought. Scarier still that I was actually able to decipher that gibberish.

Uhm, fencing is one-hand weapon fighting. Aka sabre and foil. You cant even use TWO hands let alone two weapons. Why are they bastardizing this class? It's bad enough you guys use batons and sticks as opposed to blades


It's one thing if they cant follow continuity, its another if they can't follow simple english.


It's even in their own system, notice all the 1h before all your specials. Kind of obvious dont you think?


Only people who should get dual wield are swordsman and pistoleer. And bounty hunters..(pistols)

It is my firm believe that heavy swordsman should get duel weild, in respect to the acutal "Fencer" thing.. no one really "fences" with two swords.



The attic was less to us from the cellar the bones like the attic let them have it let them stay in the attic. When they sometimes come down the stairs at night and stand perplexed behind the door and headboard of the bed brushing that chalky skull with chalky fingers with sounds like the dry rattling of a shutter. Thats what I sit up in the dark to say.
