Dual Wielding

from Elemental Forums

I managed to make a an off hand weapon that adds damage and dodge.  Just set the Type to Defense and the Attachment point to the left hand instead of right.  There does not appear to be any way to make it attack twice or make weapons that can be equipped in either hand.  Here is what my XML looks like.

I was thinking to make that suggestion yesterday :grin:  

After i first saw Juggernauts i was thinking that Ythril would be nice to have dual wield as faction trait since they dont wear armor

Thanks for the info i ll try it later

That's awesome.  Did you have to redo the whole skeleton or just set a new anchor point?

Just a new point.
