Guild Wars 2

Is it me, or do DW axes are a lot more powerful than swords? I like the idea of DW swords, but I find that secondary sword to be pretty useless in most cases. And the one thing I do not like about DW is the fact that when you do your auto attack, you just swing you main hand weapon rather than both… Isn’t that kinda lame? They should fix that. You look kinda kitten swinging that one sword than all of a sudden start chucking the second hand sword like a thief from final fantasy….

Welcome to GW2 where your dreams of a dual sword warrior with rapid dual attack animations go down the toilet. Don’t expect it to be “fixed” ever!

Yeah it pretty much turned me off to the whole idea of dual wielding. Which is why I will rolling with the GS.

DW kind of useless in this game for warriors overall especially with swords. The direct damage just sucks that bad so leave the DW to thieves and other professions that can do it better. Stick to twohanders especially GS because you’ll get better damage results than DW.

Well, dual swords seems to be mostly about the bleed stacks in terms of damage output, so you’d probably want to put some focus on condition damage/duration and maybe the Arms trait for some extra bleeds. You’ll kill in a bit more of a passive style this way, although the immobilize from the burst skill can be useful at times (even the 1 second one).
