Lem2222 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I made a topic a while ago about what weapons you would want in Runescape. Alot of the posts suggested ideas about double wielding something. So I want to see how you will feel about double wielding. Quick Link to Lem's Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarg1010 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 i think dual-wielding would be awsome, but with some restrictions. Double whips would most likely take 95 attack (anything lower would be to easy to use for that kind of power), dual-weild d-long/scim would own :thumbsup: and as always, youd need 130 attack for dual-godswords :lol: Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne. Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~ DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Fox Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 we already have 2h weapons. 2 whips would completely nail the head over godswords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathodie1 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 If they were to introduce Dual weilding in the game, I think they would have to lower all hits, make every weapon weaker, then it would make dual weilding fair. Because some weapons would be extremely overpowered. So making them weaker would make it fair. And to dual weild a certain weapon you need to be 10 levels over single weilding. So 50 for dual rune weapons etc. But I think it would be cool to have dual dragon daggers, 4 hit special :P Mister Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlanders Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 It is pretty cool, obviously. 2 whips would completely nail the head over godswords Thanks, Mr obvious. Who's talking about making it possible to wield two single hand weapons? That wouldn't be balanced aside from how ridiculous it would look to use 2 single hand weapons at the same time. Those are always going to be with shields. Stuff like torags hammers, except useful, is how we'd do this. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highlanders Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Why don't you go buy a torags hammer at the GE, equip it and tell us what happens Mr smartypants. Look I can make the roll smiley too :roll: 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkmutt Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I can see somthing that has the strength of a rune dagger that attacks like knifes and darts?

Bloodkay Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think dual wielding would be restricted to smaller weapons such as daggers and wc axes and short swords so as not to over power it. Plus you would most likely attack slower. Taking a Playstation 3 break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Avatar Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Highlanders and admiral you may want to keep the flaming to a minimal for your own sakes. To be honest you both look pretty immature right now. :thumbdown: Anyways back to the topic at hand I've always dreamed of having a whip in one hand and a rune cross bow in the other, whipping moss giants in one direction, and shooting off the heads of zombies in another direction. =P~ Previously known as Monkeybeast0.

Ultimakomoto Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 But I think it would be cool to have dual dragon daggers, 4 hit special :P And THAT is the exact reason dual-wielding will never happen. As if the dagger wasn't overpowered enough, let's give it 8 more hits... Need a new signature....perhaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promise Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Besides the 4 hit special, which can easily be a 1 hit KO, what about whips? The max with a whip is something like 53, now times that by two. Another easy KO. The only way we would be able to double wield is if the stats of the weapon where cut in half. But this would defeat the purpose of dual wielding, as you could get better attack and defence bonuses with a shield or defender. Which is why torag's hammer shall forever remain the only duel wield weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I think more dual wielded weapons would be cool, of course dual-wielding already existing weapons would be a little weird, but new ones I wouldn't mind. Pirate Rosetta stone. Learn a language while you scape.Sounds interesting, but these days how many people really speak Pirate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Double wielding as long as it's only new weapons that come out after the ability comes into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_odie Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I would say they would have to incorporate agility into the skill. The higher your agility the less you damage yourself. And with 2 weapons i would think you would hurt yourself. We could also have guns! [/humor] RIP MichaelangelopolousThanks to cowboy14 for the pimp sig!

kingbd Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 If they allowed dual wielding the whole combat system would have to be overhauled IMO. Weapons could still hit the same but be restricted by only being able to use potions as an attack boosts. Also using a shield would have to be equal to the effects of another weapon, as in having huge defence bonuses. It would require a lot of thinking and I don't think it will ever happen but you can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nope12345 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Id love to double weild but it whould be over powered, ways to make it not is to have a higher att lvl needed to weild and/or a str lvl neede to weild the 2nd weapon or to have it limited to the weaker weapons or give it has less accuracy OR give it 75% attack power instead of doubling it Unfairly Banned-Appeal In Process, Its been slow due to the sheer number of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roseiah Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I don't think dual wielding should be allowed. Runescape already has a good balance of weapons. Each weapon has a weakness and a strength in every situation. We already have weapons that require two hands and I don't see the need for anything else.

Seabourch Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 It would be cool yes, but that'll mean monsters will be too easy to kill. You could down monsters like kalphites easily( although this becomes tough with dragons). You could insert a counter such as it increases the risk of being hit and you get hit for more when you wield it. Its actually a bad idea unless your restricting it to low hitting weapons like short swords and daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phata_elise Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 possibly. IMO, double wielding is here already in the shape of the defender. First, shields should become much more important for def. That way, you really need think about the worth of wielding an additional weapon vs the hefty loss of defense. Than it could be a nice addition to the game.

Makes sence to me. (otherwise shields would be a bit too strong perhaps, dfs def bonus is already huge). So double wielding is like 0.75 attack power (but x2) and -40 def or so?

So double wielding is like 0.75 attack power (but x2) and -40 def or so? with barrows around, 40 def is nothing. double wielding should not be better than a weapon and a shield or defender, but an interesting alternative for some situations. let's say: max hit stays the same. double attacks (so in effect double attack speed) and a 50% def reduction. Also, to make sure it will not be a pure only thing, you need equal def lvl as the required attack lvl. So 60 att and def required to wield dual dragon scimitars.

MicroLegionnaire Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Is this related just to melee weapons?? Because if it isn't, imagine the chaos you could cause with a whip *AND* a rune crossbow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
