Path of Exile 2

Why can't I duel wield crossbows?
Why can't I duel wield crossbows with Giant's Blood keystone? Their stat requirements get tripled for crossbows, but I get no benefit from it? It should either just not work and have no impact on stat requirement, or it should just allow me to duel wield them.

The drawback is for all martial weapons. Spears, quarterstaves and bows get the same triple stats drawback (as all other future martial weapons, like flails, claws, daggers etc.), even though you can't dual wield them either.

It's to lock you into playing axes, maces and swords.

It's rather limited as of now because it only maces are implemented. But when axes will make their appearance, we'll be able to draw the full potential of the keystone, because axes will get the same mechanic as spears, you'll be able to throw them as a ranged weapon, and you can dual wield them.

I mean, I don't think we can slap on a drum mag of bolts for crossbow. Gotta reload somehow.

But we can. Well, it's a either a drum mag or belt fed lol
The Rapid Fire shot loads like 70 bolts per reload, how do you think we are cramming 70 bolts in there? XD

You're dreaming the bolts from the gem, that's how dream gems work.
