Dual swords question

[Indiana Jonas]

So in the videos, when their using dual swords, we always see them using both swords at the same time (as part of the combat animation). But in Hellgate, the left mouse button "fires" the weapon we have in the left hand, and the right mouse button "fires" the weapon we have in the right hand. So does this means that when we're using dual swords, we have to use the both of them (you can't kill an enimy only using your left hand sword for example)?

You can set up the mouse buttons as you'd like. As in the left and right buttons do not necessarily have to relate to weapons in hand.

There's also a "use both equipped weapons" option that you can bind to one mouse key.

So in case we're using dual swords the "use both equipped weapons" is the best option, 'cause it makes easier to kill demons..

Thanks Scapes!!;)

[Scapes]

I don't know what the timing is like but yeah, it's got to be faster than clicking both buttons.

Naturally, you'll need to get the ability to equip dual weapons first, assuming characters won't be able to do so to begin with.

So you can swing with BOTH swords at the same time without using any skill?
Interesting

[Scapes]

Well, it's not a simultaneous swing.

More like mainhand-then-offhand (assuming both are done cooling down).

Is it like WoW that u swing with your swod and does normal damge and if you wanna do more dps than that i use "energy" or "mana" like in wow sinister "strike" and "eviscate"?

Is there combo points that u are adding to the mobbs and then using them on like a "kidney shot"? 1 point for 1 sec stun 2 points for 2 sec stun....?

[Scapes]

This really isn't World Of Warcraft. You aren't going to find translations of the skills from it in Hellgate: London.

Also, please stop resurrecting these threads if your questions aren't about the topic.

How accurate is dualing swords? Is it possible for 1 blade of the 2 too miss?

[brittbox]

I supose it depends on the timing of the strike and the posision of you and the enemy, like in any sword RPG where you can run freely while slashing.

[majestic]

What if you use a sword+gun combo? Or a gun+sword combo? How will it work then?

I reckon for the gun+sword, it could be grappler+sword...

[brittbox]

Not a clue.. :?
Try beta if you have pre-orderd and I do dare say you will finde out. :p

[BloodReaper]

I think machine gun and sword would work. Blast them and if any get then its hack and slash time.

yes your speaking of the shotgun attached to the sword right?

[brittbox]

The point of having a sword is to hack and slash, not shot and when they come close use you'r sword..
You run towords the enemy screaming and shoting and when you get there you stick you blade in ther face! :D

[BloodReaper]

What is you had a Gunblade like the main guy in Final Fantasy 8 had? *Bang Bang Bang Slash Bang Slash Slash!*

Cool, are there blades like that in HGL??

[Catalyst27]

No, not as far as anyone who knows can actually say.

So far we have not seen anything of that sort, however Squall in FF8 with his gunblade could not actually shoot enemies, instead as he slashed the enemy he 'fired' the gun portion of his weapon which created an explosion of energy, dealing extra damage to the enemy. In terms of this there are mods you can add to swords that should have the same effect.

Bad necros bad.

[Togashi]

I hope there are no gun blades. Those always seemed ridiculous to me. Get a bayonet, people!

Yep I think so too.
