im currently d/ling the free trial and was browsing the message boards, looking at the skills and whatnot..and was just wondering (I assume you can) duel wield 1 handed weapons...or if duel weild is a skill you learn.

Duel wielding 2 spears would be awesome =)

Can you either have:
1 Dagger, 1 Sword
1 Dagger, 1 Shield
1 Sword, 1 Shield
1 Lance, 1 Shield
1 Mace, 1 Shield
or 2 Daggers.

Hmm, if you really think about it, duel spears would be about as much use as fighting with 2 vaulting poles. A half-speedy dagger or sword wielder would have you dead and skinned before you could say "I poke you in the eye" :) Swinging two long, unbalanced poles is not the way to fight, if you want to win :)

One could hold the second spear mid-shaft, providing a reasonable opportunity for defense and a possible attack. So essentially it'd be similiar to wielding two daggers, except that the one would have a longer reach.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't make sense... if it helps, I put a lot of effort into a Paint image.



...beautiful.

Isn't there 1H axe + shield as well?

And why isn't there a 2H staff? Really hard to look like a (stereotype) monk without that. :(

You can use every one handed weapon with a shield, so we should add
1H spear + shield, too.
