dual wielding

[Joseph Porta]

If it were to be implemented, most likely not, but would it be op?

discuss..

if it would be added I guess the simplest way to implement it is the left swing would be replaced with an animation that should the left hand making an attack move, it would be much slower then the current left swing that is held in the right hand, allthough I guess it's reach would be greater.
(i guess you could replace all the animations and make him do crazy assasins creed ninja shit with dual wield but this is just simple put.

having a different weapon in each hand and being able to combine shit like heavy blunt knockdown and a long strong cutter sounds op, I don't know how it would end up tbh, you do have your left swing severely gimped compared the the current one, no left swing spam angle, would it be op?

if i'm right, which im not sure i never take such thing into account when I garb up for some bloodshething  , having two weapons will slow you down like crazy because of the weight?

Nobody would every have taken a second sword and thought it was a good idea to fight with it in his left hand, maybe sometimes a dagger was used, but I don't think that ever happened in the time period crpg should be situated in

i'm not talking about realism im talking about wether on not it would be unbalancing in-game just discussing otherwise i wouldve posted it in the suggestion forum eh

Dual wielding is virtually never mentioned in history its pretty much a hollywood/video game thing. crpg afaik wants to keep some kind of realism. Only time ive ever heard of dual wielding is in martial arts and rapier use. dual wielding gives you no real advantage in a battle situation and would make you weaker when parrying etc compared to a 2h grip

As such i am dead against dual wielding it looks retarded and would be a ton of work

[Joseph Porta]

i dont see at all how it would be an advantage, your left swing is pretty much your major attack as a 1h, losing that to another tad bit better right swing wouldn't give you any advantage.

I dont like it either but just theoreticalsomething, I real somewhere that it would be extremely spamming and OP but thats something I doubt

hmm i said it gives no real advantage it could be implemented but with heavy stun as your stance would be terrible if trying to attack with both hands

[MURDERTRON]

Once I was hungover and I couldn't get myself to change the channel on TV.  But, what I saw is a cartoon where a guy had three swords.  You'll never guess where the third one was.  IN his MOUTH.  Why stop at dual wielding.  Tri wielding.  Go big or go home.

Also please add a crossbow that shoots bees.

a large crowd would like it cause they don't give 2 shits for realism and a large part would utterly detest it, I wonder if they would let it fare after they set their focus largely on mbg

make it like skyrim:dual wield cannot block, can only chamber,so u can control the left hand with ur right mouse buttom. And it will be pretty balanced imo.

Chamber only would result in you getting ganked by any shielder, would rather be underpowered ^^

Also this wasn't a suggestion T_T

Have a look at philipine martial arts. it is called escrima,arnis or kali and double wielding is an essential part of it. Today it is fought with two sticks, but these sticks are placeholders for short swords (or long knives)

at 5:39 you have double stick action

To implement into crpg I think the only way would be a lefthand parriing dagger. It will be used like a shield. you can block with it and the nudge attacks will deal some damage.
But I think this is unnessessary and will jeopardize the whole ballance.

wow this guy is awesome, they either are very good actors or these recruits are really hitting hard and aiming for his face

an other double wielding video:

[CrazyCracka420]

Sticks weigh less than swords I would imagine.  And they can hit on any edge with a stick (since it's blunted).  I'd like to see it done with two swords.  I can see someone using a dagger in their off hand to stick the enemy while your swords are tied up, or when the opportunity presents itself.  I can't imagine someone being more skilled with a sword in both hands, compared to one.
