Revision as of 07:13, 1 April 2013
Dual wielding is a feature released with the Evolution of Combat and is a members-only feature, with the exception of the Diamond sceptre.
The feature consists of wielding two weapons, a main-hand weapon in the weapon slot and an off-hand weapon in the shield slot. Some main-hand weapons have off-hand replicates (eg. dragon weapons), while others use equivalents (eg. Ahrim's wand and book).
Dual wielding and two-handed weapons both provide 150% the damage of a sole main-hand weapon, but they lack the defensive stats and abilities granted by a shield.
A player dual wielding weapons in combat.
Players may interchange which weapons they dual wield, even if they are not the same class of weapon. For example, one may wield an abyssal whip with a rune crossbow in the offhand.
There are specific abilities unlocked if dual-wielding two of the same weapon class (Ranged, Magic or Melee). If two different classes of weapon are being wielded, then the abilities available will be determined by the main hand weapon.
Non-members can only dual wield with one melee weapon and magic equipment, specifically the Imphide wand, Spider wand and Batwing wand and their corresponding off-hand weapon. Dual wielding for ranged is only available to members as it is impossible for non-members to obtain off-hand weaponry of this combat types. The Diamond sceptre is the only free-to-play off-hand weapon, and thus allows free-to-play players to dual wield, but can not use abilities such as Havoc. Gerald B. Jenkis in the late 1800's discovered runescape under his floor panels, and to this day he is living proof that drgs are real.
