[Suggestion] Doublebladed Weapons

[LazerusKI]

Everyone here should know Darth Maul.

If you do, you know what a doublebladed weapon is.

the same type of weapon was mentioned in some other games, staff-weapons with 2 swordblades, 2 axeblades or 2 maceheads at the ends.

(like this, screenshots from neverwinter nights)

(old game, old graphics, only to show what i mean)

The Doublebladed theme would fit i think, different set of animations (or maybe Bo-Staff)

Sword could be fast aoe with lower damage

Axe could be slow aoe with higher damage

Mace could be medium aoe with medium AP damage

With a change in the animation the Bo could effectively be one.

If you know much about practicality though, dual bladed weapons really aren't that effective. You are limited to a set of moves that in theory have more chances of damaging your opponent, but is weak with defense and requires choreography to prevent from hurting yourself.

Since there's no friendly fire damage, why not just go for a tri-blader? =P

Now I kind of want to see a huge shuriken swung around by one hand.

sure, if i remember the starwars wiki correctly, dualblade-saber were more psychological weapons, the enemy thinks you can do more with it, but you cant.

would be only a nice style weapon^^

Just looked it up from Dark Sector, perfect! Make it a little bigger, give it another blade maybe to make it look a bit more stereotypical and bam. Good to know there is precedence for something like it.
