Dual wielding - overhead swing

    In my opinion the most useful weapons to use are 2 handed ones, they have a big range which prevents monsters from hitting you and they have an overhead swing which hurts or hopefully deflects monsters that jump or drop on top of you.

    While dual wielding is great because of a super fast attack speed and let's not forget shields (Which are amazing when used properly.) they don't seem like a good choice over 2 handed weapons.
    Therefor I'd like to suggest that if you dual wield a weapon you swing one weapon above your head, an overhead swing like the 2 handed weapons do.
    This could trigger when wielding a one handed weapon in both hands.
    Or when using a one handed weapon in the left hand, making the left hand only attack in the air as opposed to in front of you.

    Please post your thoughts on this subject.

    I really think this is a good subject to bring up. I tried dual wielding and I died so fast. I don't think that the left hand should only attack the sky though, I however think that this idea is great:
    "an overhead swing like the 2 handed weapons do.
    This could trigger when wielding a one handed weapon in both hands. "
