[Autumn]

Dual Wielding currently has an inherent negative value on your build, it can range from being as small as -5 Hit due to a lack of gloves (and additionally minus some stats cause thieving exists) or as huge as -20 SWA, -5 Hit, and if you aren't dual wielding the same weapon type, -12 Crit and Evade too.

I propose that Two-Hand should gain an additional sub-talent branch that focuses on Dual Wielding, aiming to pad out this stat disparity a little bit between these groups of items, as I see very little value in stuff like Vent Petale or in wielding 2 weapons to match my classes like if say I need an instrument and a different weapon.

I've made a few suggestions to throw around, they don't have to be translated into the game quite literally but these are generally what I think people would like to see in this regard:

Dual Wielding - 5 Ranks

Wielding two weapons at once gives you a bonus to your Critical by SR * 2%, doubled when wielding mismatching weapon types (Such as a Sword + A gun.)

The above suggestion is intended to make the -5 hit from a lack of gloves into a weakness and to give a lot of Critical Rate in return, while equalizing mismatching weapon critical hit rates with those of matching weapons in combination with Sarasha Gi.

Dual Wielding - 5 Ranks

Wielding two weapons at once gives you a bonus to your Hit and Critical by SR * 1, doubled when wielding mismatching weapon types (Such as a Sword + A Spear.)

This one is to make up for the -5 hit you'd be missing from not going with any gloves, while also boosting a bit of your crit rate, a middle ground that would at best slightly benefit dual wielders and not be disadvantaged vs other weapons.

Dual Wielding - 5 Ranks


Wielding two weapons at once gives you a bonus to your Critical by SR * 1 and Parry Chance by SR * 2, doubled when wielding mismatching weapon types (Such as a Axe + A Fist.)

This one is just that it makes a bit of sense, I feel like an off-handed weapon would increase your parry chance fairly significantly.

As usual thanks for reading.
