PLEASE MAKE A DELAY TIMER FOR SWINGING WITH THE SAME HAND TWICE, ATM DUAL WIELD IS OBOSLETE
I can swing just as fast with the same hand as with dual wield. It makes dual wield obsolete.

Dual wield is slightly faster with spam attacks, but with any attack that is even slightly charged, 1 hand will be just as fast as using two.

Please make a delay timer on swinging with the same hand twice, so that dual wield is useful.

Also, if you don't do this, when you make 2 handers everyone will just use a 2hander, since it is more powerful than two 1handers or one 1hander by itself

I would agree with this, but also disagree.

2x faster is way too good, already there is no reason to use 1 v 2 hands. If you change it to 2 hands is better no one will ever use 1 hand. Adding shields, stamina loss, lots of other balancing. Then we can start talking about tweaks like this.

Another good reason to dual wield is to have two different weapon types 'handy'. Personally, I find that single wielding is actually better in some respects esp if you have Unarmed as well. You can drain their stamina AND their HP if you want to. :)

Does any armor sets block better against slash, or stab weapons? If so, Dual wield fighting with two different types of weapons against two other people in two different types of armor would be the way to go. Even if you can swing just as fast with one hand the dual wield would make differences.

dual wield also is less wear and tear / weapon

No armor types have no effects vs weapon types. Damage is damage.

Also even if it did, if dual wield were the same speed as single attacks you wouldn't want to dual wield. (You wouldn't not want to either.)

My point stands. There is still no reason to dual wield. Unless you want to use knife attacks every now and then. But there is no reason to dual wield the same weapon.

Add a delay to attacking with the same hand, and put a 25% penalty on power attacks with dual wield.

Something like that would make both play styles viable, I believe.

There is a delay already.

If you want to attack faster, dual wield. If you want to do charged attacks either works the same.

I would like to see changes myself however, as I said before there are so many other issues that you cant balance this yet without fixing tons of other issues.
