So on the topic of Dual Wielding a great weapon would be claws. Generally, they with list under swords or dual swords and would pretty much be used as a quick melee offense.
I suppose Claws could either take a second weapon slot or shield slot(or maybe even both). If shield then perhaps some claws if not all have a built in shield mechanism that can activate like a regular shield. The shield can be influenced by the elemental properties of the claws. For instance, physical contact with a shielding knight wielding stun claws may cause minor stun.
Charged Claws can either preform a lunging move, dash and cut, or a energy wave projectile. Also a grappling claw like weapon would be cool, it could shoot out at enemies from medium to long range for damage then return back to the user.

Anyways, opinions, complaints, likings?

Perhaps they could still

Perhaps they could still double as a shield.
Except:
They'd be rather weak and have decent speed.
Alternatively:
Upon blocking, you would still take small amounts of damage. Would have average attack and speed, and could also have a defense stat.

Or...

Your character could just put his sheild away when using a dual weapon? So if you switch back to your single weapon, your sheild comes back? That, and i think theyd need to come as a pair, becuase dual autoguns would be re-diculous. A dual magnus set on the other hand...
I think i'd rather have my burrning skekiai tekioken, or however thet g gundam move is spelled. Meh, gundam 00 was better.

Just had another idea. Dual

Just had another idea. Dual Sheilds. They'll take up two weapon slots and a sheild slot and they're attack is lower than other weapons and provide knockback.
Generally, Dual Sheilds will provide more defense if not a wider area of defense. Dual Sheilders will use these to protect fellow knights from incoming mobs and to create a distraction so other knights can set up bombs or shoot. However I can't help but feel this will make the game more eaiser. So this is probably a dumb idea.

no shields

forget that. i should be able to wear it on my back like gremlins and turn to flee and it adds some defense. for dual weapons, or dual handed weapons (great swords, what have you)

and to tie it to another thread
