Instead of using a shield and a sword, Spiral Knights should have it allow you to unequipped a shield and wield two swords.
Or possibly wielding a gun and a sword at once.
Each can have it's own key for attack if needed.
Wield Two Swords

None
No need to get all territorial over an idea.
This shouldn't be a matter of who said what first, this should be a matter of agreeing/disagreeing.
I personally believe it's good that more than one person brings up a similar or exact topic. This way they will see that more than just one person is interested in the idea.

So you want to give up your only form of defense for more damage?

Add a dodge
It'd be neat. I think it would be neater if it came with an alternate defense, a dodge (like a roll or step-dodge in Smash Brothers) or parry--a block with the offhanded weapon that requires careful timing.
Latency can make both forms of defense only haphazardly effective, but, then, you should expect to be easier to hit when not using a shield and parrying or rolling out of the way of swings would be awesome, as would having a pair of weapons. Worth it for the style alone.

Currently you can unequip
Currently you can unequip your shield and go into clockworks without one. If you think having no shield is a good idea i highly suggest you to dwelve into Tier 3. Hell, even Tier 2 will cause you a lot of trouble on devilites levels. And generally having it for an option would be bad for random PUGs as you'd have a chance to get some rambo who would go dual sword and have him die all the time in later tiers. I see no reason to share half of my health with someone as clueless as that. Heat is useless to me. Whining people on the floor even more so.
