#23844, "Don't you just think something is wrong with this?"


          

wield dagger
You wield a practice dagger.
You feel you will learn better with such a fine practice weapon.
Your skill with a practice dagger is adequate.

dual dagger
A practice dagger weighs too much to be dual wielded with a practice dagger.



I get the whole thing with offhand weights, but shouldn't there be some kind of minimum threshold that is, needless to say, higher than what we're seeing here? I can, right now, grab two 10-pound weights and swing them just fine. 15, fine. Even 20, no problem. Once I get to 25, my weaker arm is not as quick with it.

Realistically, your max offhand wield should be a little less than your max one-hand wield, regardless of what's currently in your dominant hand. There's no reason what's in your right hand should affect how well you use your left hand, assuming they're well within your limits.

In fact, I think it makes more sense to use heavier weapons in your offhand, since your dominant hand is better suited to finesse and quickness, and your non-dominant hand for the kinds of gross motor movements that a heavy weapon is suited to.

That said, it's all a game balance thing. Plus CF's weapon swinging model isn't exactly physics-based.

It still doesn't really make any sense. I can offhand a 7lbs thing in one scenario (assuming my main wield is 8lbs), then if my main wield is 4lbs, I can only offhand up to 3lbs...

I mean, there's probably no reason to change it but it doesn't really make sense.
