As of 0.9.2f, it cannot be done really.

The core skills for benefiting from two weapons exclude wands.
Supports cannot be used without being linked to an active skill.
You need accuracy, which cannot be found in the Int skills, which means spending a lot of points in Dex. Thankfully, the supports you WILL want when DW Wand builds have a useful attack skill are dex-based, so this isn't too terrible.

But more than likely, the Dual Wield Wand class of choice will be the Int/Dex hybrid. You have to sink too many points into Dex, and if you're focused on auto-attack, you don't need as much Int.

That said, if you want to *try* it...

I recommend picking up extra minions from the Int tree (you can get +4/ea).
Useful skills:




Temporal Chains (don't have an unequipped gem)







The goal is to control the battlefield and harass slowly with your wands.

Yes, I have a lvl 49 DW wand/summons witch - Pistol Polly.

Been fairly effective - using elemental hit with the following supports: multiprojectile, lightning damage , mana reduction, increased crit spike, pierce, item rarity.

I basically use elemental weakness and then blast them with elemental hit, then raise zombies and spectres as I go.
It's certainly doable even at the moment - and pretty fun.

I was playing around with my Dual Wand stats and I noticed that I do get a Block chance with 2 Wands. Has the game been updated in the past few months to allow all the Dual Wielding benefits found in the lower parts of the tree?
