I think this should always be an option. 2 handers are ok, but there's nothing like the faster attacks of 2 weapons to up your dps. No I'm not saying war's should be thinking of their dps while in a grp/raid. But to be able to trade out your sheild for solo'ing or the easier fights you know you can handle would be great.

Of course you will run into players who refuse to use a shield. If that happens time to find a new tank end of story. In EQ2 both zerkers and guardians could dual weild. Most would only do so if (a) they were solo'ing or (b) they were OT'ing. I do remember one time when on an alt, the healer asked the tank to put on his shield becasue he wasn't taking hits so well, and to my shock and horror he replyed with "I don't have a shield always seemed pointless to me" :shock:

Dual weild is a total + in my book, but ALWAYS make sure you have a good one hander and shild to switch to for grp'ing.
