Guild Wars 2

Why aren’t they different? If I use a Sword and Shield, I want to see a different animation than when i use a Sword and Sword.

Ex: Sword/shield= slashing and shield bashing

sword/sword= actually using both swords -.-;

It’s not that big of a deal but if they added different swinging animations for different weapon combinations, that would add a whole new look to the game.

Just thinking out loud here, but with the exception of rogue #3 skills, it seems that every 1-5 skill uses either one specific weapon or the other. I think maybe what should be done on a more specific level is that the #1 skill, which is usually a chain, should have one or more of its subsequent skills dependent on the offhand. For example, on a sword/dagger ranger, instead of multiple sword swipes on #1 auto-attack, maybe #2 or 3 should be a dagger swipe, or at least a different type of sword swipe than if you were holding a warhorn for example.
