Beas7ie Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) What I mean is that we can dual wield kamas, axes, and daggers, but we can't dual wield SWORDS. What I want is to actually have 2 Swords, as in a Sword in main hand and a Sword in the off hand. I'm honestly not a fan of this sword in off hand, dagger in main hand stuff, and see the new weapon which was a cool laser/plasma cutlass in the offhand with the wimpy knife in the main hand disappointed me. DE pls let me dual wield SWORDS. Also if Thorkell can dual wield full size battle axes, then we should be able to at least get 2 full size swords.

Vitras Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I remember I was disappointed by this when I first started playing Warframe. I wish we could, but I think it's just the way they do things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakl635 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Dual Ether. Dual ether is a sword and a dagger, not two swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiningArmor Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 isnt dual heat swords a thing It says Dual Heat Swords, but one of them is the Heat Dagger. Dual Skana is the only actual dual swords in the game from what I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utarious Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 It says Dual Heat Swords, but one of them is the Heat Dagger. Dual Skana is the only actual dual swords in the game from what I know. Nope. One of the skanas in that set is a short little skana dagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calayne Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 As are dual heat swords, and possibly the upcoming dual katanas. Traditionally, people always used a sword in their main hand and a dagger in their offhand. This was primarily done so they have a short range weapon, as the main gauche with the rapier, that it would be easier to attack in close range. That, and parrying with the short blade was also done, I believe, while a fatal blow was delivered with their main hand. They rarely went bladestorm in duels. So, I do see a logic of using sword and dagger. But this is so super fantasy, I personally wouldn't mind two equal length swords. Heck, make it another weapon option: the dual longswords. DE needs an exorbitant amount of mastery to reach Mastery 30 anyways, and I do love my symmetry. I'm also keenly waiting on a rapier/main gauche set for my Volt. Good times!

RyojinOrion Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) I never really noticed that... Huh. This thread has earned my +1 for actual dual swords. I was gonna mention the Dual Ichors, but apparently they are considered axes, even though they look more like swords to me. :/ Edited April 5, 2014 by RyojinOrion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakim0n0 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) Nope. One of the skanas in that set is a short little skana dagger. Are you sure? I thought they were the only ones that are the same length. They are in the pictures and screenshots I find on google.

ensignvidiot Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Guys, Dagger =/= Shortsword The offhand has a shorter blade, this is because weilding two same-sized weapons is generally a royal pain. Samurai and NInja (what tenno losely are based from) always ensured the off blade was smaller. It could have been extreme, like the Katana vs Wakazashi or it could've been a bit closer if you where super huge like Miyamoto Musashi who weilded a a katana in his off hand, and the japanese equivelent of a hand-and-a-half sword.

Utarious Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Are you sure? I thought they were the only ones that are the same lenght. They are in the pictures and screenshots I find on google. Nope if you see them in game the one that is above the butt is a tad bit shorter. See one of em is a littttle shorter, not by a lot, but enough to say they are not the same length.

Calayne Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 +1 for Twin Swords. Heck yeah. Twin heat swords Twin ether swords Twin dark sword Twin pangolin swords Twin katanas Heck, many daggers don't have twins either. Twin heat daggers Twin ceramic daggers Twin dark daggers Bring back dual ethers (one of my favorite melee weapons) And there we go. 9 extra weapons. With melee 2.0 upcoming, it seems a good time to increase the variety and freedom of weapon choices. The twin swords animation may be able to follow the current dual weapons, but with statistical differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one that is "a little shorter" is at an angle that hides part of the blade; look at the one I provided and measure yourself. Also the top of one of the blades is cut off so how can you make that distinction? Edited April 5, 2014 by Bakim0n0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensignvidiot Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 an addendum: Daggers are traditionaly in the 14"-18" range The off hand weapons of the "dual _ swords" are roughly 2 feet in length which puts them in shortsword territory. (i arrived that this by basing the fact that the average frame is roughly 6 feet tall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Talia. Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 +1 I don't understand why all dual wielded swords in the game have to be one dagger and one sword. I want TWO ACTUAL SWORDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakim0n0 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) I would log into the game and check for myself but when I reset my account I didn't bother to make them xDBut I mean... just LOOK at the icon.The other dual sword weapons have distinctly smaller blades but the dual skana have the same blade twice.

ensignvidiot Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 again, the size difference isnt enough to merit the off hand being labeled as a dagger. In fact the only difference between a shortsword and a dagger is the name. When a smith makes one and calls it the other, its always the other. There have been daggers up to 2 feet in length, and their have been shortswords 18" long. Its up to the creator, if DE says swords, they are swords.

Bakim0n0 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I guess I have to make a dual skana again.But the icon shows them the same and also, just an fyi, notice those blue balls there? Yeah, that's not really an up to date picture. Just sayin. (what was that one of the 5.0 versions?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Talia. Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) I am looking at my Dual Skana and Dual Ether right now, and they both have a dagger. Its clearly smaller, i would say 30% ~ 40% smaller than the main Sword. Edited April 5, 2014 by RexSol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
