Heavy Dual Wield

[RoxxasTheDemonslayer]

yay or nay?
been using a regualr duel wield for a while but recently got a pair of .. golden 2h longswords from the opal merchant.

from speed a weight im guessing it means somewhat slower blows that take more stam?

cause im already starting to blow most of my stam in battle with all the doging i have to do.

Personally, I rushed heavy dual wield and I found myself not really caring for it. I used two Dane axes and it was very, very slow and to whit, didn't seem like it added any extra damage over one Dane axe, either in burst or dps. I very well may be missing something, but it appears to be a straight damage loss.

I would be fine with that for Rule of Cool, but even playing using them was less fun.

The benefits of a 1-hand weapon + shield equipped far outweigh the heavier, slower damage of double wield; the right runes and armor supports this combo very well; I never pursued double wield after acquiring it.

really? i dropped using a sheild right after a got a good 2nd 1haxe.

made me faster in combat, plus i never really used the sheild much, save for when i tried fighting the boss and he just smahed right though the thing.

Personally, I preferred to fight with a shield - partly because the shield can damage and stun attacking enemies with the right skill upgrades, but also because it felt more "real" to me than dual-wielding two-handed weapons.

That said, dual-wielded spears are perhaps the easiest way of fighting. Your regular attacks can keep the enemies away from you, and the damage isn't bad either. It just looks rather silly, in my opinion.

Dual spears! Who knew. Definitely not my style! I prefer the bows, all 3; with climbing so easy, you can strike and move well. There's not many more powerful strikes than that "shoot-all-visible-enemies" ability; I always start with it in battle, seems to shock the troops.

[Weltall8000]

My thing was I want to use a big heavy ax. Real Vikings were pretty into sword and board, and shields are like, the best premodern weapon, but, w/e. Big ax.

And I would use two if it were more fun. It does look cool.

Dual flails ftw. Because I identify as an attack helicopter.

dual wield spears - extra reach is nice

Does dual wielding spears give them extra reach? Genuine question, what is the benefit?

[Go0lden_Archer]

dual spears is god tier, but I personally prefer to stick to "canon" weapons, and after seeing Eivor with "unlimited axe works" in Isle of Skye, I'm just sticking to axes myself lol

But I enjoyed running a bit with longsword+shield. just put feathers on all armor to reduce weight, stamina won't be an issue.

Single handed anything with the Raven skills to autoparry and spam adrenalin abilities is god tier. I focus with the bow in slow mo for headshots and throw free heatseeking hatchets on weakpoints all day, then it's just a matter of executing everyone down on their knees while the others are immobilized by fear (the Bear skill). Turns Aesyr into a walk in the park.

feathers?
oh you mean the rune to lessen weight.
that was part of the plan.

[Hannah Montana]

Try dual wield spears. It's really easy and OP. Just spam RB/light attack.

Yeah, most of the runes dont do a noticable difference, but weight reduction, even slim still allows for one extra swing for example. Same with speed, if you have speed on your weapons, you'll notice being able to recover and attack faster then your opponent in some situations.
