It would be cool if you used both weapons, alternately, at half the speed.

Still, you should still get a penalty for duel wielding.. try to fire a gun with one hand and then come back

Umm.. with the current system in place I don't see any reason why we should take a penalty at all for Dual Wield. Our current DPS is a joke.
/agree. guess Im to much of an optimist and continue to think in 'perfect' game terms. With no fixes to the combat system in itself, yes, just give us the added damage no penalties. Then we "might" be able to contend.

In a fixed system we should get a penalty.
Until I see that system.. we need something to account for the fact that we have professions at OUR speed cap with weapons 2 - 3 - 5 times stronger than ours.

My guess is that we'll get dual wield modifiers that progressively increase on the way to master, so earlier on you might get a 60-80% accuracy penalty on your off hand, while at master the penalty will probably be more like a 10% accuracy penalty for the off-hand.

Hmm...So if you are a Master Pistoleer and a Master Fencer I wonder how confused the system would get if you equiped a pistol and a melee at the same time.

Wielding two pistols at the same time effectively doubles the damage over time the same as just using one pistol at twice the speed.
The penalty would be already built-in to this special since you would be getting the HAM costs of two pistols at the same time.
Master Pistoleers should be given a speed advantage anyways and this dual wielding ability would be the ticket.
Pistols dont do as much damage as rifles, so we should have a speed advantage to balence the DPS between each prof.
