newbie question about dual wield and such

Player Questions Started Last reply 3 posts
Hi there. I am now a lvl 15 DE fighter looking to being a SK. My questions are as follows...

1) Can I wear heavy armor or do i have to learn a skill to do so?

2) When and how can i dual wield?

3) Should I dual wield or should i stay with a sword and a shield or go with a two-handed weapon?

4) I will mostly be soloing i'm sure...should I have made a nuker or ranged character? I like Dark Knights in Final Fantasy XI...being able to do damage and cast some spells.

thank you

1) Can I wear heavy armor or do i have to learn a skill to do so?

You can wear any gear that is appropriate of your lvl


2) When and how can i dual wield?


lvl 20+


3) Should I dual wield or should i stay with a sword and a shield or go with a two-handed weapon?



If you can get a good dual sword, they hit better than 1 handers or duals.


4) I will mostly be soloing i'm sure...should I have made a nuker or ranged character?



Nukers or Rangers are the best Solo classes. Well, Phantom Rangers might have a bit of problems soloing due to their Low HP. Both are pretty expencive to solo.
I (as many) would suggest going with a 2handed sword. It consumes less SS and your sword/blunt mastery will work with it.

DE males look gorgeous wielding them duals though :/
