Double Swinging with 2 handed weapons

[Primis00]

am i the only one that wants this in the game? i dont use the 2 handed weapons like hammers or big axes because you only swing once and it takes so long to recover.

would be cool, because the time it takes to deal damage with a one hander is so much faster than 2 swings with a 2-hander, the damage is out of balance on the bigger weapons, they should do more for such a slow swing time.

Ex. i have a 4100ish dmg machete that can swing at least 3 times in the same amount of time it takes my 5500ish dmg sledge hammer to swing once.

so damage output for the one hander is about 12,300
and for the sledge its still a pitifull 5500.

exactly and it just feels bad.

The sledgehammer, pickaxes, battleaxes and I think bastard swords (although they look more like true two-handers) are more capable at hitting multiple enemies PER SWING, usually have longer reach (greater hitbox!) and WILL decimate a group around or in front of you with Windmill attack or the drop attack.

Even then, everything but some of the weapons are just too slow and have huge recovery times. I use them for lolz against groups, especially when groups have big zombies that need to be hit all the time.

The real beauty of the two-handers are the katanas and "scythes." They will benefit from all 2-H attributes but have the movesets of the 1-H weapons. Those are the ones you wanna brag to Mom and Dad about.
