indeed i am fully aware that dual wielding tanks take more damage than a tank using a sword and a shield, however im also aware that due to screwy EQ dev's, tanks with shields and swords do not yield enough aggro to effectively tank with a shield, so lugging around a shield is.... well, pointless cept for the cool graphics.... save a few shields in the higher end of the game that have furious fash IV and above combined with a weapon with Anger III or better o.o. i just like dual wielding, it produces more dps aggro and overrall aggro, but im an aggro addict, the extra riposite that you take every now and then is worth it.... and strikethrough aa's and armor mod's will actually lower that amount significantly
