this makes no sense, why woudl fencers use 2 weapons? Screw the fencers I WANT 2 SWORDS.

The idea of a swordsman is one who focus strength into his attacks. A swordsman doesnt need worry about blocking as he uses his strength to guide the blade.Picking up a second sword in the off hand throws off balance strength of attack etc. Normall it was done either to add more defense or to over welm the enemy with a flurry of attacks so one would get through and hurt the enemy. Just compareit yourselves. Take a stickof approaite size try weilding it withboth hands then try using one in each hand. Fact is you wont get any where near the power trying to duel wield. Two completely different styles of fighting here guys.Fact is that swordsman style of fighting doesnt qualify themfor duel weilding any more than rifleman is qualified to wield two rifles. Even if devs gave swordsman duel wielding you guys wouldnt like the stats as the are based off of a completely different style of thinking. Duel weapon dont mean more damage. If such a feature is ever implanted either needs to be a new class orthe one that already focuses on that style of fighting , the fencer.

Because they use light weapons that only requier one hand at time? While we're using heavy weapons that requier each BOTH hands.
