Nub Questions, Can Swordsinger Dualwield swords??

[gussman]

I need help to find a good class for me and I wanna know if Swordsingers can Dualwield swords!
If not, what kind of weapons should you use as Ssinger, 1h and shield maybe?

If dualwield works, at what level can you use it, at 40 maybe?

Thx

Duals is the best weapon for BladeDancer.
About SWS - like in passive skills you have - blunt or swords. It can be one or two handed (mainly you chose beetwen 1 or 2 handed by your set, if you have  shield or not).
For SWS there is no "one best way" to go. You can go with dagger / bow or any weapon you like to. It's depends on your game style and if you want to go more defensive or ofensive.
Mainly in defensive game style -> heavy armor + blunt / sword (1hnad) + shield
ofensive -> light armor +dagger/bow.

But like I said before you need to finde your own way to play SWS.

Oh ok, so Dualwield works =)

At what level do u think?? I still think at lvl 40 maybe ^^

Yes, technically you could use duals. But check your damage and compare it with other weapons (especially on higher lvls) - I can tell you that it doesn't pay off.
For SWS I recommend 1-handed sword + shield or dagger + shield. Dagger would be Angel Slayer (mostly for pvp cancel augment). And believe me, shield really makes a difference on SWS. Bow = pvp weapon.

Oh ok, but why does not x2 1h swords do more damage than x1 1h sword?
Is it because it is in "offhand" and takes much lower damage maybe?

Why would Ssinger use daggers instead of swords, I thought swords had more damage.

B'cos you can you dual sword, but you don't have such skill like BD (Dual Weapon Mastery), on SWS you have:    Sword/Blunt Weapon Mastery (Increases P. Atk. when using a sword or blunt weapon.).
And dual sword are other category - they not qualificate like swords. The best from skills for SWS are sword 1h / 2h or blunts 1h/2h buyt you can use every wepon you want. Differetn is this that on sword / blunts you have some bonus from passive skills.
Why SWS use dagger ? Because on daggers you have high popability of critical attack + Song of Hunter (   Increases the critical attack rate of all party members by 100% for 2 minutes. MP consumption is increased when singing while song/dance effect lasts.)

If you want to play with duals of course you can, but I don't think taht it will be good for SWS.
If you so much like to play with duals I recommend to you to change char form SWS to BD.

Go Dagger for fast attack speed (thus faster delivery of skills such as agression, arrest, songs, etc), good crit rate and when you get an AS with pvp, to cancel buffs. Downside is lower P. Attack and Accuracy.

Go Sword for good attack speed, ok crit rate, good P. Attack and  Accuracy.

Go Blunt for good attack speed, low crit rate, good P. Attack and higher Accuracy. (low crit rate makes it less usefull)

Go Dual swords for.. well, dont go for it. Not only it has less DPS than the other options, it looks ugly as hell in any Elf
