Dual Wielding

[Saint56]

so, been playing a paladin pushin almost 3 years now, and boy have we come a long way from that (for those of us who are still around from that long ago, u know what im talking about lol). yea we finally were able to use tower shields, good times was it when we got that tower shield that dropped off the truth instance (major breakthru). yea they hooked us up with able to use bows, lol think i might get booted from my guild if i say IM A RANGER on vent one more time. they even hooked us up with the ability to use symbols, everyone loves free stats. so now the question is this, do any of you think that crusaders will some day have the ability to dual wield? what are your thoughts.....

<p>If SOE's vision of the Paladin is the same as in historical posts, no chance.</p><p>What is odd about that is they state the vision of a sword & shield protector, but then make our epics 2handers...</p>

nope I doubt crusaders of either kind will ever get dual wield.

There was a time, when we were capable of dual wielding by some strange fluke.  It obviously didn't last long and it most definately wasn't intended.  So knowing that the glitch that allowed us to DW was fixed so that we couldn't DW I'm going to say no we won't be able to.

I would say no to that also, it would be nice however, to allow us to have a AA choice for Double Attack like the other 4 fighter classes have had.  Dual Wield i understand, but there really is no reason they couldn't have replace one of our Crusader AA choices with a Double Attack option.  On of my gripes, including the fact they should rename our single proc buff that procs glorious strike to a different proc name like righteous strike so we can seperate damge from the buff versus another line we have that does the same damage name.  Overall, i am pretty happy with the itemization for Crusaders in general, and not being able to dual wield is not bothering me.  Would be nice if we had a two handed stance that allows us some defensive bonuses when we use one so we dont crumple from the loss of block( our best form of avoidance with no parry on our defense stance).
