    Shadow Warriors only have 2 options when it comes to weapons -  The bow...or Duel wielding 2 swords.  All of this information has been conviently located on WarhammerOnline.com for nearly a year.

    You get a bow and a sword, no dual wielding, the only class that dual wields is the Disciple of Kaine.. .well, and the marauder after a fashion.

    Thats a load of bull..Ya got me on the Shadow Warrior I could of sworn I've seen high level picks of the toon with twin blades. 

    The Witch Hunter Dual wields he uses a Gun and a sword, he's just a not a traditional duel wielder. 

    The maurader should be considered a duel weielder as well since he keeps a weapon in one hand and a mutated flesh weapon is the other hand. 

    The Witch Elf is MOST definitly a Dual Wielder she wields 2 daggers right at the Character Creation Screen!!

    Witch hunter, as you said is not a traditional dual wielder while they can use their gun from range it is only under very specific circumstances that they can use it up close and personal.  The reason I said marauder was a dual wielder of a sort is becuse they can actually dual wield two axes, however that keeps them from using their mutations.  And I forgot about the witch elf, you got me on that one :)

    Order classes do not duel wield swords or daggers.

     

    The witch-elf and disciple of khaine are the duel wielding classes. The closest thing order has is the witch hunter, but you use a sword and a gun... we're not fully certain if the gun DPS is added to your attacks or not, but it'd be pretty off-balanced if it didn't.

    I played a shadow warrior but I cannot recall dual wielding options. You use your bow to pick off ranged enemies. You need to get up high to get a clear view of the enemies in RvR

    It's a nice little hybrid class. Very fun and takes a lot of strategies switching through all the Stances

    If they don't dual wield, what the heck do they do with their off-hand when they're not using a bow???

    So the High Elf girl shone to be dual wielding and finishing with a bow in the Opening Trailer isn't based on a Shadow Warrior? Humm...disappointing sad

    I enjoyed playing a SW briefly today and had hoped that DW would be a skill to be earned later on, I liked using the bow to draw mobs in and finish them with my blade.



    There should be a dual wield skill for the SW imo

    There's not dual wield for SW yet, but there should be, in order to compensate him for his weak meleeing.

    I hope Mythic retakes the dual-wielding idea for the SW, as shown in the official trailer.

    no, witch hunter is a dual wielder. they use the butt of the gun to smash heads up close and most of the special attacks  / finishing moves with the gun require you to be humping your opponents leg, long range shooting is generally reserved for slows or building morale.

    We can also use two swords although the abilities do not make this a viable option so far, hopefully with any luck..int the future they will be able to dual weild both guns and swords (supported by abilities) :D but doubtful.

    To one of the posters: You might have seen a Swordmaster with a Shield that looks like a sword.

    Shadow Warriors can't dual wield to my knowledge, but Assault spec isn't as bad as everyone say it is. Your spike damage is fairly obscene with VoN + Level 2 Morale.

    Witch Elves are dual wielding daggers for anyone who wants to know. Same with DoK. The downside to Disciple dual wielding is that your healing isn't as good but you can use that blood sacrifice attack to build Soul Essence.
