Will anyone confirm or deny the rumors that fencers will get a dual wielding weapon? (ie one weapon per hand?) I like any help that we can get, but wouldn't that make us 2 handed? It would be cool to walk around with two weapons, but personally I would just prefer a better AP weapon.
Just a few thoughts.

Also curious about where/when these rumors started, although perhaps more importantly how true they are. Anyone have a link to a major post that mentions dual weilding?
Personally I would rather have an offensive shield in the other hand. Somebody else convinced me by suggesting that if other tech is so advanced, droids anyone, then there should be quite advanced weapon systems that could work in the off hand with a blade in the other. To advance this idea, I bet Jedi could use these devices too.

Dual wielding is always cool. That was one of the best things about DAoC.

I can't find the exact post, but yes it has been specifcally stated by TH that we and pistols are getting dual wield. My guess is Combat Balance or after though.

What about limits for duel wielding? I'd like to see someone other than a Wookie use two Ryyk Blades at once.
weapon-Dual Wieldable
Survival Knife-yes
Dagger-yes
Stone Knife-yes
Sword-yes
curved sword-yes
Gaderffi Baton-no
Ryyk blade-no
Stun Baton-no
Vibro blade-yes.

Ok, im correcting myself. If they're all considered one hand weapons, then they all would be.
Still, 2 Gaderffi Batons or Stun Batons would look a little wierd. And the Ryyk Blade isnt small enough to be a one-hand weapon in my opinion. Then again, thats just me.

Usually in real life your second blade is smaller and lighter than your main blade. Two samurai swords would just be in the way. The dagger is often used in the off hand to stab somebody in their side while locked up, something like that. Hoping that they add new blades with the combat balance a short sword or long dagger would be perfect.
Also if they are adding two pistols that would be awesome.
AWESOME I SAY!!!!

How about a pistol in one hand a sword in the other.
Now the joking aside this would look cool.

well they may follow the DnD way of doing things. Since minerunner stated that the whole game is gettign a revamp they may make vertain fencer weapons heavier to use and if you used 2 your accuracy would drastically decrease. of course they may just add a new weapon in general too.

I heard somewhere that the duel weilding would be an animation effect and not a numbers on (ie, you would carry two weapons and fight with them, but only do damage with one). I can't remember where, but it was on the sony forum somewhere. Maybe in the BH area.
In pirate movies and such, many of them carried a pistol on their off had and a sword in their main. They could use the pistol to block and fire the occasional shot. That would be awesome... just add a speed penalty to the off hand and a bonus to block to that hand. Would look cool!
