Guild Wars 2

To Maurier: Hey thats cool man, im not here trying to be an “important big shot” I’m here expressing an issue that i feel strongly about and so do others, not an ego thing brother.

To UnderTow & Maurier: Well either way if you choose to claim it as “auto attack” that does not matter, your attacks should incorporate both weapons or switch between each of them then go for atleast one hit with both, and the whole debate saying attacking with two blades would get you death… there are people lobbing fireballs and summong skeletons to murder me i dont think real logic matters too much, and besides that… there are ways to parry with a one hander, that doesnt mean you need to take away the offense.. which is why some one would use two weapons and not one.. if your worried about defense use a shield not another weapon..

To Illushia: From what i have played of thieves your auto attack in no incorporates your off hand weapon, you still only use your main hand for auto attacks, and as for the animation clippings it is something i feel needs to be done if it is what it takes, they should not have set it this way in the first place..

To LastDay: I understand each weapon you wield comes with its own attacks, but that doesn’t give the right to take away the use of both weapons in auto attacking, it is dull and highly unlikely to ever dual wield and only swing one weapon at a time, For the “read skill” action that you speak of there could be charge ups for certain skills or little movement hints, i feel like you are ripped off compared to characters that use two handed weapons or one hand and a shield because they get more use out of their equipment as for dual wielders they are only going 50% with their auto attack dmg.. which reduces bleed stacks crit chance, speed, dmg , etc etc etc.

To Dgenerate : Well the thing is i have been playing guild wars longer than i played wow and started guild wars earlier. I just have seen in many video games as well as real live videos or movies that characters dual wielding usually attack with both weapons.

It bothers me, and many others that when dual wielding two one handed weapons your auto attack will only use one. This bothers me because the character then lacks the aesthetics of attacking with two weapons, damage output compared to a 2h sword or hammer which hits for a considerable amount of damage, while i would be wielding two one handed weapons but only using one. My point is i would like to see auto attack incorporate both weapons upon dual wielding this problem has caused me to stir into 2h sword instead of dual wielding which i would prefer to do.
