Guild Wars 2

Think it’ll only be viable if a restriction is added and that would be not being able to equip dagger or pistol as main hand. It’s weird enough that wielding any weapon with different hand changes your skills but it all only make things worse if you do it so with sword OH and dagger MH. It’s just weird… I like the idea of staff and rifle though. I mean you do use the same skill when you’re ***ping with your other hand right? It’s debatable like writing with your dominate hand is obviously different (duh) but I wouldn’t want to push the argument there. In the end who knows (other than devs), maybe it’ll be nice. I agree that equipping D/S or P/S will open up more diversity but meh weird. Oh! Axe main hand would me wicked as well.

OH hand sword was never a thing. The main duel right now is Staff vs. Rifle. the waiting will prove the point here. But belive me no class that has dagger in main hand will get sword in off hand (necromancer, thief, ele).

A sword offhand sounds pretty awesome and there are already well made ideas for sword offhand. Hopefully we get them soon.

OH sword will not happen because D/S and P/S make no sense.

But aren’t thieves the ambidextrous class could make some sense if the dual skills for d/s and p/s really tie the two weapons together.

It can make sense if designed correctly. You can use your offhand sword for defensive purposes while your more skill right hand get the job done.

If the sword gets some sort of block + counter (with a shadow wave so you can counter from range and synergize with pistol too) and some sort of area control skill (like creating a field of slashing winds at your position) plus dual skills that make sense to synergize with each weapon, you can have something interesting there.

Having the player autoattack with the main hand and use the offhand in an utilitarian way is hardly ambidextrous which is what we have in the game.

It will be weird and unfitting having a thief use his dagger in autoattacks in melee while having a sword in the other hand.

Ikr and why poke your foe with a puny dagger when you can smack em with your sword. At this point I’d like to see what would come out for warrior though. If they actually get duel daggers or pistol main hand then yeah, there’s a chance we’ll get OH sword but meh I doubt it. It’s likely they’re gonna get pistol offhand like mesmers of some other lame offhand weapon like dagger or torch. Lol axe/pistol or axe/dagger XD

well my last guess was warhorn, but guess what happened…

Again,it can look fitting,if the animation is done right.
