As the topic title inquires as well as the question: if main Rogue can dual wield weapons, will subbing Rogue allow a different main the ability to dual wield?

    I would certainly be interested to see a mage dual wield tomes... or staves.
    hmmm.... what about the ranger, dual weilding bows?

    Yes those can be implemented because sub classing is being worked mainly for some of the game dev's.

    If I remember correctly, there is no weapon restrictions for any archetype.

    As to the OP's question, Steven did say in one of the live chats that Dual Wield is a thing. Rogues are typically associated with this skill so I would feel safe to speculate that this is a yes.

    I think you're looking at dual wielding in too broad of a scope. Most likely it will be like dual wielding from any other medieval game where you have two slashing or blunt weapons. We'll obviously not be seeing any DW for bows or staves or any other 2H weapons, but I won't necessarily throw out DW for tomes. Not <em>likely</em>, but not impossible if the books themselves launched the spell instead of the player's hands.

    Also, class skills do not affect what weapons a player can use. Any class can use any weapon style, from what I've gathered, but a class may use a weapon style more effectively than another. So taking on Rogue as a secondary archetype will give a player some new benefits to their main skills, not dictate what weapons they can use.
