Dual Wielding

Summary

Dual Wielding is a weapon skill that allows the usage of a new class of paired weapons that occupy both hands
Players can raise their Dual Wielding skill up to 100 points
Even though some Dual Weapons will visually mirror existing weapons from other skills (such as Scimitars, Rapiers, etc) using Dual Wielding weapons will only require the Dual Wielding skill (i.e. using Dual Katanas will not require the Swordmanship skill)

Dual Wielding weapons are a standalone weapon that when equipped will occupy both hands
Dual Wielding weapons will function similarly to other weapons unless otherwise noted

Unless otherwise noted, Dual Weapons will adopt the Weapon Characteristics of their single-version equivalent for the following mechanics:
Being Poisonable (Dual Hunting Knives, Katanas, Scimitars, Sabres, Rapiers)
Treated as an Axe and Lumberjacking Weapon (Dual Norse Axes)
Can be used as a Knife to carve corpses/trees (Dual Hunting Knives)

Increases PvM Base Weapon Damage by (25% * Skill / 100) as a secondary weapon skill (when using another weapon skill)

Only works against creatures, not other players
Players have a 10% chance of inflicting a Dual Wielding Weapon Special Attack against creatures
This chance can be further increased via the Arms Lore Skill, Water Aspect Armor, or Mastery Chain Links
'''Feint''' - Increases Damage by 150% and adds 1 stack of Feint to target lasting 8-16 seconds (max of 5 Feint stacks on target). Target's damage dealt is reduced by 3% per Feint stack against players or followers that are within 2 tiles and also in its front arc. Target also takes an additional 3% Melee Damage per Feint stack from players or followers that are within 2 tiles and also in its side or rear arc
The damage bonus from Feint is directly resolved as a Melee Damage Bonus, so like all other Melee Damage Bonuses, it gets combined additively to other ones

Players will receive bonuses against creatures based on what "setup" they have for weapons/shields occupying their hands
These bonuses will be listed as (Setup) in the [stats page
These bonuses only apply to non blessed weapons/spell books

Dual Wielding class weapons are crafted with Blacksmithy or bought off NPCs.

Dual Wielding weapons benefit from Stances and Finishers provided by a Codex of Dual Wielding:
