Return of Reckoning

It’s huge dual wield
Provide also defensive stats

Adding a weapon style to a class is much harder than what some think.

Many animations are only supported for either 2h or SnB, and i doubt RoR's team has the time or the resources to create new animations for all the unsupported abilities.

Beside that, there's also the issue with balance.

Also complaints like "why did you add dualwield to X but not to Y yet". i can see that happening already

No chosen could aredy dual weild and have 99% all animatiom it just get to balance reason, no one would ever use 2h then, just dual weild.

The devs will get right on that right after male WE, Orc SH, and Female Chosens/Maras .

I don't remember ever seeing a Chosen dualwielding ever. Iirc there was a BO shield that had the appearance of a choppa, but it was a shield for all purposes. Maybe CHs had a similiar item aswell.

If that is the case, there are no animations for DW CHs, since it was just a shield looking like a weapon. If Chosen already has, like you say, 99% of the animations for DW done, why didn't we see them in AOR? even if those animations were unfinished/unrefined i doubt that would have stopped Mythic from releasing them, considering the ridicolous amount of bugs/unfinished content the game already had when it released. The same can be said about balance.

In all my time playing warhammer online (both AoR and RoR), 2h were always considered garbage compared to DW, if you had to option to go for it. You only 2h to look kewl or because you were forced to.

Can't they actually use DW animations from Mara? I'm sure there are animations with no mutated arms or some **** like that. Especially considering how they erm...bodies seem almost similar...or so it looks to me...

there is no need...if i not mistake (can be eh) chosen animation were also done for dual weild so any skill should have a dual weild animation.

Maura, choppa, WE, DoK... there is your dw on Destro.

Oh yeah, in beta he had dual wield. So I guess animations should still be there...

Chosen already Dual Wields to some extent.

Oppression is a shield slam that inflicts damage and buffs the Chosen. Shield as a weapon = dual wield.
