However, from my experience, everyone just calls it dual wielding. I keep calling it dual wielding, but the correct term for the mechanic in D&D 5e is Two-Weapon Fighting. But there are some very real restrictions and limitations that we need to be cognizant of when we play and invest in this type of character because we’re going to need to make some costly investments to make this work!
They don’t have as much experience with the system and typically don’t fully understand the downsides and restrictions that come with being a dual wielder.įor the record, the point of this post isn’t to dissuade someone from playing a dual wielder. In practice, dual wielding is a bit wonky, especially for newer players who are, from my experience, much more likely to build a dual wielding character. And why wouldn’t it be? Slashing two swords or laying down the hammer with two warhammers looks frickin’ awesome! After all, looking cool in combat is how you win Dungeons and Dragons.Įxhibit A: Me in WotLK trying to justify dual wielding > 2h frost tanking because it looked cool. Dual wielding two one-handed weapons is, I swear, one of the most frequently-used fighting styles in D&D 5e.
