combine both bombs to make more power. and combine effects.

Nick wanted to make it where you'd just have a new set of "dual wielded weapons". I think this would be really disappointing to a lot of people.

If they wanted to make a "dual wield mode" of some sort, I'm sure they could do something involving stats and the removal of the weapon switch period. For instance, you'd get asi high + damage high + ctr high added to all of your weapons, but you'd have literally no shield and instead would have a single weapon equipped as a shield. But I don't think this is in the cards, especially given the existing content and how quickly they produce it.

I've made a thread on the topic not too long ago. Checks timestamp. Oh, a year old, already!? Well, feel free to necro that thread if you have something meaningful to add or critique. I'll probably respond.

(Just don't needlessly bump it! >.<)

Dual wielding threads show up too often in the suggestions forum. If it were to be its own weapon line, great - it could be balanced like any other weapon. If it were to be another playstyle of the current game, so many things would be needlessly broken. Bombs are a good example, especially since you charge them above your head with both hands.

My only thoughts on this would be to have new weapons, or have a parrying blade shield that would counter-attack when it takes damage or something, or perhaps attack when you use shield bash. If you're going to replace the shield with a weapon, make that weapon a counter-attack weapon and not another primary weapon.
