Anyone know if dual wielding will be a skill made available in factions?

wording corrected:

assassins only skills. (only w/ knives/daggers)

(^usable by all classes.)

(no. dual wielding swords/axe.etc.)

there.

That's not entirely true.

I can dual wield my preorder daggers right now with my necro, just dont meet the requirement to get damage.

I think it's only for Assassin weapons. Duel Wielding in most games always have some bugs. With warrior's adrenline, item mods and cross-class abilities, Duel Wielding will probably be the hardest to balance.

Right now, the only skills I can see that benefit from the linked daggers are Assassin skills with "off-hand attack" and "duel attack."

That said, you could make an assassin/warrior with lead attacks only and a shield, for example (well, you could make one however you'd like, but with only one weapon, off-hand attacks and duel attacks are useless).

A "Duel Wielding" attribute does not currently exist in the Guild Wars universe.

I thought the daggers were kinda like the bow, either weild with both hands or not at all. One at a time would be odd I think. Big ol' sheild and tiny stabbing dagger.

~I~ can use my bow with only one hand. Can't you? ^_~
'sides, I've seen casters using one-handed wands with shields, so.... >_>;
