Suggestion Dual-Wielding Cutlasses

[Beggar]

I'd like to suggest that a mechanism for dual-wielding identical cutlasses be implemented into the game. So, for example, a pirate who owns two Shark Blades would have the option of fighting using both of them simultaneously.

There is precedent from disney for adding in a feature like this. The combo animations could be taken straight from those used by the Spanish Undead Pirates on Cutthroat Isle - although new ones for Bladestorm and Sweep may need to be developed.

Opting to wield two cutlasses instead of one may also affect the capabilities of the weapon. For example, wielding two cutlasses could mean a pirate's combos would have higher damage at the cost of lower attack speed, or the combos would have an Area of Effect similar to broadswords at the cost of not being able to use active skills like Bladestorm or Rolling Attack.

Comment below what you think of this idea

You are not the first to make this suggestion but I do like it. Another possible dual wielding idea could be paired dagger and sword, like Seven Seas Dagger and Cutlass. I know there aren't many pairs like that currently in game but it's possible to add more.

That's another intriguing idea. For some reason though, I'm a little more partial to dual cutlasses... https://prnt.sc/iypoam

Love this idea.

I like both ideas. Especially the sword and dagger.

Or, like having daggers vs a dagger, you could have an opportunity for new items with "Sets" of Swords.

Yes, sets where you can use them individually or if you are lucky enough to loot the set you can dual wield. Very cool concept.

Has been suggested before, however I think it should be added. We just might need to make bosses a bit more difficult though
