Langes 1h/2h duel build?

[Rangerbob]

I"m just wondering how effected a 1h/2h langes messer build would be.  You can change your swings midfight go agi lets say 18/21 with 112 1h and 140 2h.  at 6PS you would glance a little more but as long as the langes is MW could be ok.

If you love the langes messer, i'd just go full twohander, use a shield as a backup for archers.

I'm thinking more along the lines of duel server.  I've never actually fought anyone who switched attacks halfway throught the fight.  Imagine fighting a longsword then getting hit by the 1handed leftswing animation.  It would mess up my timing for sure.

It takes time to switch so idk, it's not gonna fool anyone and you can get attacked while youre at it.

I think it's a cool idea personally if used as a gimmick every now and then.  I was actually thinking about doing this recently with mine - switching when I hold my strike as a sort of feint to throw someone off.  As mentioned you'll leave yourself vulnerable esp. if you overuse it, but I see no reason why it couldn't be an extra trick up your sleeve

1. You cannot switch the animation mid-swing, it takes some time during which you remain defenseless. It's fun though, I even use it on my 2h character with 1 1h wpf .
2. If you wanna go for a pure dueling build, I recommend either 18/21 or 21/18. Personally, after I switched from my 18/21 to 21/xx, I started preferring 7 ps, but 7 athletics and 7 wm could be advantageous as well.
