Fencer Archive

Ok here goes...this may have been asked before but I have only recently began to read the boards and am really curious.

Has anyone ever asked or considered making the fencing class dual wield?

I find that for some reason the heavy swordsmen vastly outmanuver me when grouped. They get more xp and more hits (when their weapons are sliced at the same speedas mine). I am not imagining this. It has happened on numerous occassions.

Due to this issue (personallyI think fencers should be faster than heavy swords) I thought the dual wield would be a nice compromise. What do you think?

Got to love it when guys think a pretty girl dancing with a sword is doing so just for looks and can't use it!

yeah,it's been mentioned quite a few times. either a secondary weapon, or a shield for increased defense. they've also talked about lowering the speed cap for fencers, and raising it for swordsmen. all of which would help.

i'd prefer not to have to deal with two weapons. i'd rather have one light weapon hitting more often. i just happen to think that one sword striking quickly is more elegant, and more in line with the fencer ideals. dual wielding sounds like something that would be a lot more fun with dual pistols.

my problem is, i don't really care about being stronger. right now, i'm strong enough, and i enjoy being rare. i think nearly everyone else wants a dual-weild situation, though.
