I have an idea on Dual Wielding. It would only be for the Warrior- since the Assassin already has the capability. With the Warrior profession being able to use 2-handed weapons such as a Hammer, thought we should apply the same to weapons such as a long sword or fellblade or anything of a certain length. With shorter swords you will be able to dual wield; and if you put more attributes in Swordsmanship and or Axe Mastery you can dual wield heavier/larger weapons. This would go for axes as well. The bigger the axe the higher the Axe astery must be. Kind of complicated but thought it would be a good addition to the game. I have always been a big fan of it and when the assassin was able to i fell in love. Just some ideas to be thrown out for the new addition to GW or with a new big update.

Or you can be an W/A and use really tiny swords I like to call daggers.

On a more serious note what does weapon weight have to do with wielding them, (max)swords all do the same damage.

Yeah I'm afraid I don't see an upside to any of that.

Other than aesthetic appeal. It wouldn't be of any benefit. Unless it was tied to another class.

Sounded kind of confusing, but I do like the dual wielsing idea. Actually expected it because of the intro video(silly me). Dual wield = ~2x normal damage, due to having 2 weapons able to strike, instead of one. Of course, sometimes one(or both) weapons(swords or axes) will miss, and there is a minor penalty to accuracy usually, with the offhand weapon, even at best capability. But Id like to see dual weilding, however, itll likely be in a new chapter, if it ever appears, as it world require new skill(s), animations, ect.

Youre probably right, though I know nothing of why it would be(Not being a PvP'r myself).
