Dualwielding shields please

Bordellimies, you got 1000 e ?

Contact GGG, tell them you want to make your custom item.
Make it whatever weapon you want, but with the looks and animation of a shield...

WINNING !!!

Your argument is invalid.

If there are people who run around swinging 2 swords like an idiot, why shouldn't there people running around and defending his people with 2 shields? This makes you an ultimate defender wall which can really tank more then other classes, but deals less damage.

I mean, I wouldn't play it because beeing a pure defender is not my style. But as long as GGG takes care of good shield animations, I don't see any reason to NOT implement it.

Just because you lack the imagination how cool 2 nice shields on a character can look and how useful such a character could be, doesn't mean it's a stupid idea.


Btw. Why are you even playing PoE? There are Marauders who use bows, Rangers who use spells, Witches who fight with their staffs and total hybrids who use many combinations of those... Do you hate Battlemages too like in many other games? No? Strange, because using you should think about it: armor/sword with groundbreaking magic, isn't that stupid in your opinion? No? Then get out of this thread, you didn't say one useful sentence so far here.

Sounds fun. I'd build one.

Just ignore that guy. If he keeps spamming the thread, report him. Not our problem if he gets banned from the forum :)

Butt-hurt kid who joined on the day PoE went into Open Beta, LOL.

Anyway, I have yet to see an argument that would make dual shields a viable build for GGG to waste their time on.

There is a reason this type of build isn't in every type of RPG.

1. There are alot arguments and as you can see the interest is quite high.

2. There is a reason why not every RPG support Battlemages, Dualwield Classes, Summoners... The list would be endless

3. Like I said, you are playing the wrong game dude. PoE is all about individualism and giving every person the ption to absolutly costumize his/her character to his/her full hearts content. You can play a witch with 2 sword if that is your wish. No build has to make perfect sense, it's about the fun playing with such a character.

You are one of those kids who think that a character must deal the highest possible DPS, or need the perfect Defense, or needs to be pure range-class etc. But PoE isn't that kind of game, but I guess people like you won't understand that even if the developers themselves would explain that to you.

4. Your argument is again invalid. Not every RPG can support every class. But the fact that there ARE RPG's that support a dual-shield class is proof enough that speaks for a dual-shield option.

Please, try harder before you call others butt-hurt kid. :)

Way to show how limited your knowledge of RPG's truly is.

Seriously, though what games let you dual wield shields? I can only think of one.

Also, since when is less than a dozen people high interest on a subject?

Please, continue to show you know nothing.

Why don't you answer my questions first?

Which game supports a Witch that can use dual wielding?

Which game supports a Marauder that can go completly for bow AND be useful?

Which game supports a ranger that lets you play effectivly with swords and/or claws?


Your horizon is just so extremly limited. PoE is a game that BREAKS ALL THESE limitations, don't you get it? You talk about knowledge and that you have more of that? I call it dusty believes in something that is totally old-fashioned. When you think 15 years back, mages only castet fireballs, fighters used heavy armor and sword/shield und ranged classes bows and daggers. Some years later, games startet to have more unique classes like dual wieldung fighters, battlemages who use elemental weapons and defensive spells (a good example is dragon ages bloodmage) and many more out of-the-box classes. And now PoE breaks the boarders between all these classes, making it possible to have a witch that uses 2 weapons and specializing in physical damage (for example lightning strike witch) or Marauder that summons totems or rangers that go totally for armour and life.

Like I said, your horizon is just extremly limited. If you like old school that much, then play old school games. There are more then enough MMORPG who use the basic/classic designs of characterclasses.

And what could be the worst thing that can happen to YOU if there are dual shield players? I think less people will play them and YOU dont have to play with such people if it annoys you so much. The thing is: it would be totally optional to you and everyone else.

And no one said that this idea has to be realized RIGHT NOW. If there are more important things to do - ok, np! And if there is freetime at some point, they can make it real for those who would like to play a dual-shield class. No reason spamming around here or insulting players.

Crizaig, you don't like this idea, got it.

Other people do. It's ok that we have different opinions. If the devs think it's a good idea, they will implement it, if not, they won't. No need to insult people and try to convince them that they are wrong.
All that's going to do (especially the way YOU'RE doing it) is get you added to lots of ignore lists.

Way to beat around the bush and not give any reasons why dual shields should be allowed.

Way to avoid answering legitimate questions. Like I said, there is no need in having a reason to implement ANY class. There is no reason for dual wielding witch, no reason for bow using marauder and no reason for sword using ranger. But as you know, they are ingame (or at last the possibilities for such builds) and so should a dual shield class be. :)

You have not brought ONE argument against dual shields - besides you don't like it (but that's just something personal from your side). :)

Guess you lost that argument again :)

Ever see Hulk vs Abomination, when Hulk rips the police car in half and starting using it? That's how I imagine dual shield fighting.

I do not like the idea, but I think it would not hurt anyone. If I do not like and do not intend to use, does not mean others should not.
Crizaig never have anything to add, all he says is "stupid", "dumb", "stupid", but when he has an idea, and someone shows arguments against, then he gets mad.
Ignore it must be a child wanting attention.
But I confess that before seeing this, I would like to see spells and skills in unarmed combat.
