Duel wield for pallys good idea?Follow

Yeah I have been wondering what if pallys could duel wield would it be good? Leave post on what you think.

Everyone should also be able to ride a mount, from level 1. And Rogues should be able to equip staves and 2-handers.

WoW not logic use good.

Following this dangerous train, I would also have 10 fingers when clearly I have but two.

Magic rings obviously have the potential to de-magnetize each other, like having too many credit cards in your wallet at the same time. In order to prevent excessive magic ring interference, or EMI, Blizzard regulations mandate that you have no more than one magic ring on each hand.

As another thread indicates, you do apparently have the option to fight while wearing two shields. Put a felsteel shield spike on each and you might be able to dish out some serious pally loving on the bad guys.

No, bad idea. First off dual wielding has a HUGE static miss chance. That would mean ret paladins would need a ton more hit just to achieve the level where they are at now. Second off, our seals are designed around casting a seal and judging it based off our single weapon's damage. How would that work if you had two? Two seal/judges? Sounds cool, but you'd blow through your mana pool in seconds and have to sit there doing nothing but auto swing for the rest of the fight. Leave the dual wielding to other classes. Let us keep the big huge 2-hander of death.

If the /sarc tag was on, it didn't show up in my browser properly.

3 sets of armor is what you stumble on? Myself, I'm a little confused how I have a charger and a gryphon jammed in one of my bags.

(of course if they weren't in my bags after all then you can see how easy it would be to carry that armor!)

The logic in World of Warcraft is staggering.

One cannot bandage while bleeding.

And yet other classes with dual-wield not only somehow deal with it, but put up higher and more stable DPS figures than two-handers.

No. No. What did I tell you about thinking too much?

For starters, Judgement has absolutely 0 to do with our weapons. The Seals are affected by weapons, but Judgements are static and unchangeable; their affects, their damage, everything. Judgement is a spell just like Frostbolt; its mechanic simply dictates that you must have X, Y, or Z Seal active in order to produce X, Y, or Z effect. Equipping two weapons instead of a two-hander wouldn't have any more effect on Judgement's mechanics than equipping a sword-and-board. And since we Seal up instead of assigning buffs to weapons (a la Shaman), you're still only going to have one effect to Judge every 8-10 seconds.


Here, at least, I agree with you. We don't need every melee DPS class in the game dual-wielding, and right now every one does except for the Paladin, including the incoming Death Knight. There should be at least one two-handing class.

Furthermore, this would be horribly skewed in favor of the Horde. Of course, what else is new, but... SoB would be positively monstrous when dual-wielding, while SoC would take a dive into obscurity and neither SoV nor SoR would be able to keep up.

I'd just be happy with them keep fixing the ret tree.

Nothing wrong with a big 2 hander...just need a bit more tweaking and we should be good to go. 2.3 has been a good start with hopefully more to come :)

hmm, a holy pally DW healing maces = OP healing

a DW prot = absolutely stupid for very obvious reasons

DW ret? pathetic dps for alliance and OP dps for BE rets (assuming their healer can keep up with double the damage taken from it.....) SoC and CS both NEED a slow 2h weapon to be effective.

in the end it would require modifiying way too many mechanics in order to be balanced and worthwhile. i'm 100% against it... i like my ret the way she is, weilding a big 2h Axe... ranged is another story, but i'm content enough without it.

it would be even cooler still if i could staple a dozen or so 2h weapons all over my body and just cartwheel into enemies for mad AOE damage!
