no theres only 1 thing worth duel wielding and thats two handed swords. Titan grip style

>not dual wielding 2 shields

>twice the grind, farm, and cost
Why complain about gold/time when the end result is dealing Mercurial Greatsword-tier crit damage and having the ability to both stun-lock and DOT your enemy to oblivion on the process?
Plus, if you spent that much time farming any semi-tolerable rare gear you probably have room for at least 2 more enchantments/runes/jewstones to give you more proc damage/effects per weapon.
I swear, sometimes I think INT should be a prerequisite for dual wielding along with DEX. Brainlets just can't see the advantage.

What game lets me dual wield shields?

>wielding at all

Depends on formula of the games honestly, some give offhand penalties unless you actively spec it, with the "Two-hand" equivelant getting better.

It also depends on how easy it is to hit damage cap. 2x 5000 > 1x9999 after all, but 1x5000 > 2x2000, but then you have shit like "chance to proc [ability] each strike" and fun things like that.

For example, SHIT GAME Bravely Second lets you Dualwield right off the bat, but gives a 50% reduction in Damage on each weapon, you soon unlock Triple Wield that lets you equip a weapon as a helmet with the same reduction and latterd Quad-Wield that allows helmet and body slot to both have weapons with the reduction. What Dual Wield does is not allow Dual Wield, but remove that damage reduction.

But here comes the crux, that only matters at roughly mid-game because the game favors magic, and since the damage reduction is only for the Physical aspect you can Dual Wield Rods without Dual Wield since the penalty doesn't apply to the magic boost, so you just use another ability instead and still get the stat boost benefit. So the optimal way to play is to dual-wield, but not use dual-wield and instead just cast magic (with the skills that makes you cast magic twice and allow a 25% chance of recasting of magic, including your recasted magic, Bravely Second is very magic biased.).

>not using a two-hander with just one hand

In tales of maj'eyal, some builds use short staffs, which have almost the exact same bonuses as two handed staffs except they're rarer. So you gain power at the cost of the game becoming an awful to play loot RNG-reliant mess.

I'm no expert on Berserk, but isn't the entire point of the Dragonslayer that it's basically just a giant hunk of metal on a stick?

Retard

They got rid of the wubstep in S4 thankfully

Unfortunately BEAR HANDS tends to be woefully undertuned, either it is a crutch early game, or ny the time you unlock TRUE POTENTIAL you have several copies of Ultima Saber or whatever.that guarantees max damage hits while BEAR HANDS are just out of reach for it.

I still love speccing it though, but let's not pretend devs put effort in them, when they do it is exceptions.

2. You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18.

It's a big solid chunk of iron that guts handles like it weighs nothing. If Guts weighed like 400 lbs of pure muscle and armor, then the dragonslayer would weigh at least half of that. There's no fucking way he should be able to swing like he does, even if he is peak human. Guts should have the arm strength to punch down trees and the grip strength to crush skulls just to be able to lift it. His golden age sword was much better.

Why does it have the recess in it?

user it's fucking fantasy fiction with magic and fairies and shit and your major gripe is "sword too big hurr"?

Berserk went to shit after Guts had his rematch with Zodd in the graveyard of swords. After that the JRPG party formed and Magic was introduced.

fucking this

Guts its not a normal human.
All the apostol kills and the magical bullshit had made him something else.

Im waiting for the reveal that he has become a pseudo apostol/ anathema of the god hand or something of the like.

I love dual wielding but it always seems fucking worse than 1h or 2h in most games.

2h greatsword is hard to beat

>Game has melee and magic

Are there games where this doesn't happen?

The joke is that it was commissioned by a mad king and anyone not insane could see it couldn’t possibly be wielded. Then Guts shows up and falls in love with it.

skyrim

two handing one weapon in souls is objectively better regardless of size, and in skyrim the animations are trash even with mods

blades of mercy is best bloodborne tho

Most games are suppose to be like that

Dual wielding is fucking gay

I'm not the OP, sweaty. :^)

Ive wanted a Black Virgin(Kirito) vs The Chad Swordsman(Guts) meme but cannot into paint for edit.

Most SMT games, the 3rd in particular.

In tales of maj'eyal, people who wield instruments designed for killing are actually the best at killing. Solipsists can deal quite a bit of damage by throwing imaginary hammers at people, and cultists of entropy can deal quite a bit of damage with their spirit bomb that takes 15 turns to charge, but it's nothing compared to what weapon classes can deal. Though over half the weapon classes are technically also users of magic.
