This was taken from a chat log that was a Q and A session with community members and Devs

Blair replied: We had a motion capture shoot a few months ago and captured motion for duel wielder of weapons. One thing we want to do before putting additional professions in the game is make sure all our existing profession are fun. So as time goes on you will see us talk more about duel wielding.

That to me sounds as though that duel wielding may only be done thru another profession that has yet been created. I really think the devs need to explain their ideas a little bit better. Cause as of right now they have all us Fencers and Pistoleers believing that it will be our Prof's that will gain tha ability to duel wield and with that quote mentioning " additional professions " it doesn't sound that way at all.

TH has said Fencer's and Pistoleers will get dual-wielding, along with maybe a couple other profs(unknown ones).

Utterly amazing, the developers don't know the difference between duEL and duAL but the players do.

dual wielding is going to be only graphical from what i hear, so why make it a master lvl "skills"

Ok, 2 things. he said they want to Make current professions interesting Befor bringing in new professions so look to hear them talk more about dual wielding. That to me says not a new profession as well as TH said pistoleer, fencer, and possibly one other. (I think BH should IMHO)




And volcom, Im not sure its going to be only graphical. if you look at pistoleer and fencer both, they are supposed to be the fastest to compensate for low damage but due to speed caps neither are really all that faster than anyone else so maybe this is their way of fixing that. Not dual gaffis but maybe Vibro blades would be more worth while or even stun batons, looking at size.


I personally would want it as a master thing even if it is just graphical as a status symbol and the fact that youd have to really know what you were doing as to not cut your fingers off.

I think it should be at Master Fencer. And who said that it was only going to be graphical? I don't think any of the devs have stated how it was going to be yet, only that they are working on it, like the video capture and all. And I tihnk Fencer, Pistoleer, BH (in the pistol line of course), and TKA should get dual wielding. Even though TKA doesn't need it really, if its only graphical it won't matter, and it seems silly to me that some one could wear one VL on one hand and one VK on the other.

Does anyone know if the dual wielding will be at the master level only?
As I Master Gunfighter it seems pointless to me if anyone can pick up novice
Pistoleer of novice fencer and have the dual wield ability. Also note that
I'm using the correct spelling. Dual wielding not duel wielding.
