How does "second weapon" work exactly?

[PenderBloodfart]

Does it mean i get to do two attacks one for each knife? Or just decide which knife to use at the moment and only do one attack?

Each hand gets an action.

It says "swap weapons in combat" so that doesn't sound like each hand gets an action

It is so you can swap weapons to use different Weapons assigned skills on different foes in battle. 1 attack is all you get

From EA if you choose 2nd weapon at level 10, you are able to just choose which one to use. You do not get an attack with weapon1 and then get another attack with weapon 2.

Note also from EA I could not have a 2h weapon in one slot and a 1h and sheild in another.

Thought so, kinda lame trait tho

Essentially its more like 'swap skills' because weapons are skills.

If you look at the other options at lvl 10, it is actually not too bad, having flexibility. Eg a two handed aoe can be switched to a more single target weapon when it is crowded.
In early access my swordsman had a really good dmg weapon and a 2nd weapon that would give to VP if it got the kill.

I think if you choose a second weapon you need to have an idea to build it around.

I have a berserker I wanted to give two weapons, but he doesn’t want to…
Is it because one of them is a two-handed one ? Totally ruins my plans lol

Edit : yeah seems like it’s the cause, it does the same thing with another character… That’s stupid.
