Switching to Double Weapon Fighting

Scarloc · 05-03-2006, 05:30 PM

Hi there,

I have another question. Is there a way to equip a weapon in the 2nd hand by using the action bar? At the moment my Char always equips the new weapon in the main hand (and replaces the old one) instead of equipping it into the second empty slot.

Thanks.

Not at the moment. All dualwielders need to do this manually via inventory.

yea thats somthing that needs to be addressed, infact that whole short cut bar straight out of EQ isnt my fave, i'd like it smaller and longer or maybe to be able to resize it how i want it maybe having two levels of options in it would be great as well as being able to deffine the slots its activated in ie left right hand etc. and being able to short cut from the keyboard using numbers higher then 0-9 would be good to.

like the +´ keys that you can use right now? (depending on your keyboard layout, the two buttons to the right of 0 correspond to shortbut bar positions 11 and 12)

Ah, thanks. That answers my question about dual-wield. I thought I was missing something. I'm surprised no one sorted this problem, because it's really disruptive - and dangerous - in combat.

Cheers,

I thought I was missing something too this is such a large oversight I don't really think the developers realise how much it affects gameplay. My dual wield fighter character spends most of his time doing nothing whatsoever as I am constantly searching through my backpack as fights break out. Not good at all. :-/

You know, you can put your weapons and sheilds on the tool bar and therefore can either click or hotkey them. Not ideal, but better than backpack rumaging.

If you drag a weapon from your character slot (ie you drag a sword from your offhand slot) to your quick bar then that weapon will return to the slot where you pulled it rather than the main slot. If you drag a weapon from the inventory to the quick bar, it will always return to your main hand. This should solve your problem

That doesnt actually work it always put the weapon in the main hand, really anoying when you have to change melee weapons depending on the foe your fighting.

Really simple way of fixing this is left-clicking a weapon in the quickslot puts it in main-hand and right-click puts it in off-hand.

But really need to be able to put a combination of 2 weapons in 1 quickslot. It is doable it was done in NVN so dont know why cant be done here
