Make sure you never play a fantasy game or watch a fantasy movie. You might want to stay away from those media altogether, actually. I'm sorry if this triggers you or something, but did you know that there's a book/movie in which they bring dinosaurs back to life and create a park around it?

I'm sorry you lead such an overly critical, cringy life.

Yeah Avatar is not the 100% accurate representation of weaponry but it was the first and probably the best example that most people would get. More accurate in a sense what the weapons would look like would be the Chinese movies. The over the top actions is exactly how china fought with spirit magic voodoo. Trust me I was there. 100% accurate portrayal.

You strike me as someone who thinks owning weapons means it's normal to overanalyze artistic fiction. Also, trying to brag online about owning weapons is pretty cringey.

Chinese used the dao swords, as portrayed by zuko in the avatar. I do not know if it was implemented in wars. Personally, it's fun duel wielding. But in an actual fight, sword and shield would be most effective.

The swords Zuko used look fucking aweful to use. They have like, almost no curvature in the handle, which means they would feel uncomfortable as fuck to hold, and if you glanced a blow off something, that shot would flip on your hand all sideways. Just my take on those slippery bastards.

I didn't say every Berserker did it, but it happened. Their entire shtick is "Lets take these drugs so we don't feel shit and go ham" I'm saying there have been warriors through history who did dual wield, to varying degress of success.

Well I mean, yeah, vikings were generally just a bunch of farmers who said "fuck these Christians" and pillaged their gold every winter so they could pay for shit. There wasn't really a standardized method of armament, it was basically "Bring whatchu got".

A paraplegic with a gun, or bow, or spear could.

hey, that's my profile picture

Viking Berserkers. Persians even, had troops that could dual-wield quite effectively. When you put double the weapons in someone's hands they can strike faster, that's the basis. While yes a shielded opponent will MOST LIKELY win against a dual-wielding one, it would depend on training and how much experience they have.

And if you don't know, the spear/shield combination was usually for the Phalanx and formations. Outside of that, especially while fighting alone, or after the formation broke(Either due to be overrun, which is neigh impossible because Spartans give literally no shits) or to engage in more 'personal' combat a Spartan would want something a bit easier to control and not be parried away than a spear, so their Swords were used to great effectiveness.

I'm pretty sure Viking Berserkers didn't generally use two axes, they used one large axe. And yeah, Spartans didn't route cause they were fucking boss, but still, even when using their swords for individual combat, dual wielding blades is almost the least ideal 'loadout' for being a warrior. Spartan blades weren't particularly strong, or designed for parrying, dual wielding is basically asking for you to get stabbed in every way possible.

I know man, far to may people circlejerking this mentality have never come into contact with rape in any way and have no way of knowing the kinds of suffering it induces and have no place in debating it until people break logic. And while i have had multiple people close to me either get raped or almost, we agree that the trauma is no excuse to ignore logic outside of therapy.

It's not if you know how to do it properly. My question is why it's not a shield/sword.

Look at google's logo. This is likely a bit older.
