That already exists for pistols (Dual Gunner).
But I don't think it would be a good idea for any other weapon.

Dualshotgunner might work yet. After all, two shotguns at the same time would just be like a single double shotgun, while two combat shotguns would only be slightly better, so it'dn't be too broken in the beginning. Two double shotguns, then again, would totally rip anything and make it all worthwhile in the end.

Also, I've always thought that dual wielding shouldn't decrease firing speed, but chance to hit.

Chance to hit couldn't be less for shotguns. I don't know about firing speed, but i'm quite sure that reloading time should increase greatly.

If you are talking serious, seconded ! I think it should decrease moving speed. You know, two shotties are heavy and hard to wield.

Yay, I'm Former Sarge !

Actually the only dual wield I thought about was dual knives.

And there were some ideas for introducing a plasma pistol for AoMR fans, but I'm afraid to break the canon to much, and make AoMr way to easy :P

Hey, this sounds good :) But will it need an additional trait ? And how about a wielding a knife and another weapon ?

Dual knives also crossed my mind a few times, but the chainsaw is simply so much stronger than dual knives could be, and available quite early in the game, that it wouldn't make much sense, even in AoB.

The only really cool dual wield combo would be Double Shotgun + Chainsaw! :D

Yes, but what kinds of benefits would that give?

Hey, it IS possible. Just take a Juggler trait and swap DS into chainsaw when someone comes near you. Then swap back and blast him. Yeah, right, it takes two attacks. But seems familiar to DaEezT's combo.

Automatic use of the off-hand chainsaw at melee range :p

But that would work with all weapons and thus wouldn't be Groovy ;D

Hell, you are right. I'm not the only one who thinks that Shotties need an additional firepower. Even with using a chainee :).

Groovy !

I like this word :D.

Can you reload your shotty at the same time?

I agree with the idea of wielding a pistol and knife. Makes a decent combination, IMO.
