Okay, here's some balance ideas.

You must meet the combined STR and/or DEX requirement of both weapons to dual wield them.

Dual 2-handers only provide 7.5% base block chance and 5% increased attack speed.

You receive the same movement speed penalty as you would from a DEX shield.

30% Less Weapon Elemental Damage

Still overpowered as hell. Increased requirements aren't really any downside as most people have already way bigger stats than those required. DPS would be really big, but I think the biggest problem would be those 3 pieces of gear 6 links each. That's really huge if one got those and found out what to put there.

Even 30% less physical damage probably wouldn't be enough, it would have to be something like 50% less or equivalent, but I think it's just a bad idea even if they somehow balanced it. It wouldn't really work well with PoE image. I can already imagine duelists running around with gigantic hammers in each arm. It works in WoW, but I don't think it would work here.

Dual Wield 2 Handed Swords Axes and Maces
30% Less Damage
Cannot Block, No Dual Wield AS bonus

Probably still too powerful but just put it in a terrible position and call it good. Like in the Int area.
