We've all been there, even the majority of SK that hasn't been there has somehow been there. You're fighting monsters and then you die because your Knight is using one of their hands to hold something useless (like my mouse, according to any movie with a hacking scene) and you think to yourselves "I could go for some pizza," and you order two pizzas for you and yourself, they arrive and you hold a pizza box in each hand because you're not a skrub who stacks pizza boxes and hold them with both hands. You wonder to yourself "Hey, if I can dual wield pizza boxes, why can't my Knight dual wield? Also, I should replace my useless mouse with another keyboard so I can type twice as fast. That's how math works, right?" and then drop one of the pizza boxes on the floor because as it turns out holding a pizza box in each hand is not a good idea.

Well no longer will anyone have that increadibly specific problem with the intoduction of DUAL WIELDING, as you could probably tell by the title of the thread. Rather than using up a hand for a useless weapon, you'd be able to use BOTH hands for shields, essentially doubling your shield health.

But what dealing damage? I'm glad you asked my increadibly great self. That is what the shield bash is for. With two shields you'll be able to shield bash at twice the normal speed similar to how you go twice as fast with two keyboards since you're pressing more buttons. You can also use one shield to block while your other shield recharges.

But what about taking damage while you shield bash? I'm happy you asked my amazingly handsome self. That is why you do something that is clearly possible and use your other shield to protect yourself while you shield bash, or you could just not shield bash at all and thus never get hurt while shield bashing. Either works.

But what about lockdown shields? I'm grateful you asked, my really lonely self who has nothing better to do all day besides make bad suggestions and make threads about the game dying, I mean um, good self. You'd just get two of those. That doesn't get you the 100k damage you so desire? Well, believe it or not, lockdown isn't about doing damage, it's about going out to spend a bunch of money on things for the people you hate the most before spending a whole day with said people. Wait, no, that's Christmas. Lockdown is complaining about AT while 90% of the population just plays as stikers.

Amyone who disagrees with this amazing and well-thought-out suggestion is obviously a mouse using skrub who stacks their pizza boxes.

They're probably hoarding all the right-handed shields to themselves and using them as butter platters. >:(

Honestly i was thinking of something similar but decided to hold this idea back as my other ideas are kind of crazy stuff already, but well i was thinking more of the dual weapon wielding than dual shields wielding(honestly dual shields, makes sense only with touse trotodrone shields for me) but well some more varations about what equipment our knights can sue at time isn't bad idea after all, i woudl like to see also 2-handed welding for tohuse heavy weps like Troika sword famili.

You'd think Dual-wielding would be a real thing in the game or soon to be added due to the fact that there is a SK warden at the Core that boasts 2 Grand Flourishes at once... So you would think that dual-wielding would be a normal thing you would be able to do or would soon be added into ordinary gameplay.
The key being you do double the damage but take twice the damage you normally would receive with a shield in one hand.

Remember, don't shoot food.

@Avsmanfred Psht, dual wielding weapons? That sounds almost as ridiculous as dual mouse wielding!

It feels like I've read this a million times!

Maybe I should make some sort of parody thread of this...

@Blazecat Dual wielding statues would be a good idea as well. If we have to use both hands for those things, we might as well be more efficient.

@Tarzan You have the general idea down, but you're a bit off.

First of all, you would be taking half the damage, not twice (because that's just how math works).

Secondly, that Spiral Warden can wield two flourishes because they're actually two Devilites, one on top of the other. Since thay have 4 hands, they can wield 2 weapons and 2 shields, but they decided not to use 2 shields. What a waste of hands.
