christ, lay off the flames im only suggesting something
anyway, i njever said nor meant for us to sue weapons we currently have, cleavers hammers and even curved swords are 2 handed weapons alone, i SPECIFICALLY stated that we would use 2 identical 1 handed (ie fencer stuff) weapons at once
the skill would not be intended to be defensive...itd be meant for what were meant to do, ridiculous damage, but for balance its drawback would be that its accuracy bonus is lowered (but not by too much seeing how wed be TRAINED in using two swords...we didnt just pick them up and decide to use them)
as said, 2 handed weapons can be open to interpretation, fencers are definetly one handed because thye use the other to balance, but were not a set defined class..all the brawler level is 2 handed, our forum is called swordsman and not heavy swordsman, (why fencers are called swordsman in game is beyond me) so why dont we let our class try to expand a bit
i see a lot of people complainging that our grand total of 6 weapons isnt enough, and a few are redundant anyway, well this is a very easy way to get a whole bunch more weapons that will not only look cool but also makes a bit for effective on the battlefield

The only cert we get that would be dual wieldable, if that's a word, is the 2 handed curved. Even it's big enough that you'd have to have Pop'eye arms to control them. For anyone how doesn't believe me, go get a 3-4 foot long steel bar and try swinging it around with one hand and maintain control. Now after you've mastered that go hit a tree with it and watch the recoil as it bouces off. We club people in composite armor. If i were to swing a double bladed axe at an armored target with only one hand i imagine i'd break my wrist and his/her skull.

gah, it boggles the mind, you said it your self that dual wiled should be done with fencer type weapons, so why not leave it to the fencers?

can we plz leave this thread die now
dual wielding is not a good idea for a heavy swordsman, now gimme a huge claymore or a big 2 handed mace and your talking my kinda language
go ask the fencers if the want 2 weapons
or the pistoleers

yes pistols should be able to duel wield cuz it isin there fighting style as well.
however fencer and swordmen shoudl not be able to duel wield. Since it is not in any way part of fencers and swords fighting styles.
Fencers use one light wieght weapon to stab and jabb at theother person dodgingout of the way.
Heavy swordmen pick up the heavyest thing they can find and swing it around and bash people in the head with it.
now duel wielders are have two diffrent fighting styles and none match swords and fences way of fighting. One way of fighting with 2 weapons is to go all at the person hacking and slashing at the other person using tons of spining attacks however they are extremly vunerable to attacks in this stage.
and the other is using two swords one attacking and one defending. and in this stage is very had to get hit by any melee class. so an extremly high melee defence,
and the resone i say that fencers can't duel wield as well is because there other hand does not have the streagth to hold a weapon and keep themselves in balance. which is why i say a duel wielding class in melee should be a hyrded or an off shoot of master brawler. but never should a fencer or a heavy swordmen duel wield

your still not getting it...suggesting we use two 2handed weapons would be dumb because it jsut couldnt be dumb, where as 2 short swords that can be weilded in one hand each would, i wasjust using fencer as a reference
and seriously why is it nessacary to say sh1t like "let this thread die LOL" im jsut trying to make a suggestion theres really no need ot get childish about how you think, i respect how people disagree with me...but you know you look liek an ass if all you can do is say "this is stupid you noob" or any other crap like that, for godsake grow up

Dude, what a great idea! we should cross post this on the rifleman forum, they should get to use a T21 in each hand for sure, also mabye on the bountyhunter forum, I mean if we can hold a sledge hammer in each hand while we are fighting why cant they have a light lighting cannon in each hand? Oh and for sure commandos too! No reason that they cant have a flame thrower in each hand, or even better, a rocket launcher in each hand and also hold one in their teeth! I mean if a HEAVY SWORDSMAN can have two weapons who cant? Know what i mean?

Facetiousness aside, this thread comes up at least once a month, the general consensus as usual is that duel wield if it goes to anyone should go to the fencers which are the masters of light weapons and so would be better suited to fighting with two short blades.
Now, if they're going to add a buick on a stick and let us hit people with that, that's our kind of weapon
