all combination dont matter, they only use one weapon to fight anyway, the second weapon is just for the case they lose the first one --[[User:Rhenaya|Rhenaya]] 17:06, 5 March 2009 (EST) | all combination dont matter, they only use one weapon to fight anyway, the second weapon is just for the case they lose the first one --[[User:Rhenaya|Rhenaya]] 17:06, 5 March 2009 (EST) | ||

:::my legendary speardwarf was carrying two spears (both in the same hand, btw; his right one), even though he was assigned a shield. he was in battle not-so-long ago, and BOTH his weapons were covered in goblin blood (quote: "iron spear - contents: goblin blood covering", not 'spatter' or whatever x]). it was a siege, so it could be that during the melee, blood was thrown all over the place, including the 'one on his back', but i'm starting to think that dual wielding is more and more possible.<br>of course, i followed him when i deselected 'number of weapons - 2', changed it back to '1', and he went to pick up a shield. he has no skill in shield user(not even 'dabbling'!), even though he's been sparring for years, and has been assigned a shield throughout.<br>on that note - he's also been assigned armour, and is only at 'talented armo(u)r user'. does armour/shield/weapon skill level up at the same time? 'cause, to me, 'talented' is about a quarter of the way to 'legendary', suggesting that he was levelling up double-quick on his weapon. (presuming, of course, that he'd hit some n00b axedwarf twice for every one he takes). i might need to add that he's up to '(no tag) wrestler', so he'll be dodging a few, but even so.. smells like someone's dual wielding to me! :D -[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 09:10, 8 March 2009 (EDT) | :::my legendary speardwarf was carrying two spears (both in the same hand, btw; his right one), even though he was assigned a shield. he was in battle not-so-long ago, and BOTH his weapons were covered in goblin blood (quote: "iron spear - contents: goblin blood covering", not 'spatter' or whatever x]). it was a siege, so it could be that during the melee, blood was thrown all over the place, including the 'one on his back', but i'm starting to think that dual wielding is more and more possible.<br>of course, i followed him when i deselected 'number of weapons - 2', changed it back to '1', and he went to pick up a shield. he has no skill in shield user(not even 'dabbling'!), even though he's been sparring for years, and has been assigned a shield throughout.<br>on that note - he's also been assigned armour, and is only at 'talented armo(u)r user'. does armour/shield/weapon skill level up at the same time?

− | ::: | + | :::Im fairly sure its mentioned somewhere in the combat mechanics or something that they will not fight with two weapons at the same time. If carrying a second weapon has other effects I dont recall; but I'm pretty sure that this is just excess. |

+ | ::::Upon having a bunch of free time and stumbling through edits I'm back to this. Armor user gets exp for getting hit. Wrestler gets exp for dodging or doing wrestling moves. Weaponuser gets exp for every time you hit someone else. Shield user for every time you block a hit. So on average the your probably looking at weapon exp if you only use one type being about the same as wrestler, armoruser, and shielduser added together.--[[User:Silver|Silver]] 03:44, 15 April 2009 (UTC) |
