Title: dual wield
Post by: Niano on November 12, 2005, 11:57:44 am
How come two daggers of same type cannot be dual wielded? It somewhat makes sense with swords, as they are quite a deal larger than daggers. But daggers are quite small, and it would take almost no strength to wield them. So why can not wild elf, with 18 strength wield two daggers of same type. Cannot even dual crystal spike and naga slayer at same time...makes little sense to me to put such restrictions on daggers.

Those are some damn heavy daggers if wieght of them is restricting my ability to hold two of them. That means it is not able to be used one handed...a dagger a two handed weapon? Might as well use a claymore or flamberge instead.

Have come across the same thing with thief before. Unable to wield same dagger but there are some I have been able to dual wield like the golden dagger. Never really taken much notice of the weight of different daggers.

So, we have conflicting comments here.

Assassins have dual wield skill .. so can they or can they not?

Anyway this manual  is of very little use.
Just to wield same weapons....  ;)
And of no use for minotaur i think...
I vote for improving of this manual, though it is offtopic...  ::)

Elf ranger ... wielded two crusaders, or two nightmares. Never really had much else.

And were we not in times past, able to wield flam from the statues? Elves I mean. Mino's can I know but I always thought elves could also. (not dual wield of course. Just one. )

The flamberges are special though, since they are two handed weapons anyways, and only mino's have the strength to wield them one handed. We're talking about daggers here, daggers are a far cry from that.

Sorry. Didn't mean to get off the track. :)

The golden daggers, elf can dual wield two, the slim daggers (kenders) I can dual wield two. Never see much of any other kinds. Basic stuff I find I can dual wield two of a kind.
