Dual wielding

Post by Zorglub »

I made a frontline rogue with two daggers. Now, I understand you get to attack with both at the same time and not with one then the other, but how does it work? Do you get a faster attack rate, a bonus to damage (half the second weapon, the total of both)?

Is there an advantage to do so, or I am just wasting my second hand?

I'd like to know the answer too.

You are aware you can have the same as a front row rogue from the rear once they have the right perk though, right?

Yes, I am aware, but I play with two mages, so the rogue will stay in the front.

It was mentioned somewhere in the forum that dual wielding does not work. It applies a Single Weapon benefit in respect to its skill bonuses and weapon stats. You do benefit if you weld different weapons, but, skills and stats of the specific weapon type only apply when you attack with it.

So best for rogue (assasssin etc) is to have a shield in offhand to up their evasion even more... is that right?

It would be nice if having a second dagger for rogues net some benefit, double wielding assassin dagger are such tradition.

Shield will be the most ideal though as for now. Dual wielding has always been a rogue thing, just curious why they did not consider it...

Hope they add Dual Wielding in the future.
But i on the other hand it's good to have a second "slot" for some other stuff :)

I haven't tested it too much, but I seem to do much more damage with 2 daggers than 1 dagger.

Maybe it only works with daggers?

Could be my imagination...
