Block and Parry while dual wielding

[Jay.bro]

I'm curious why block and parry while dual wielding isn't a thing. I get that the block button is generally LT on remote and it's converted to attack but wouldn't it still be possible to parry with 2 weapons? I'm running dual daggers and I was wondering why cant it be, for remote controller anyway, hold both triggers to block when dual wielding 2 of the same weapon types?

 

I get coding it may be difficult but I realized parry does nothing if you dual wield. I ain't upset just wondering if it was an oversight or just not enough time to get done.

 

Anybody else think it'd be a good way to implement a block feature for Dual wielders? I don't like being forced to tank or dodge I want to block at least some damage with a parry option for the skill in the ranger tree.

I always write stuff like this down to "PC has to suffer because gamepads are limited". Yeah, I want it. And I want my character to alternate weapon attacks when dual wielding too without me having to LMB, RMB, LMB, RMB.

That's a fair assessment. I just figured if it's possible to do it with a combination of buttons I mean if older games could recognize multiple buttons as a combo attack command or a finisher then why cant we block?

I personally like the LT and RT controlling their respective hand even when dual wielding. The only reason I can feasibly see why they wouldn't do both triggers would be for rage gamers that try to speed mash when they get frustrated. It's just an idea I had and hoped it could get traction enough to be considered implementing in the game eventually. Thought others may feel the same way.

Honestly I play on xbox and idk why we don't have keyboard and mouse input.
