Do you want it? I have it up on the AH for an obscene price and will probably never sell. When it doesn't sell and I get it returned to me, you can have it.

Thanks, but I am one of those who uses a shield. I prefer to keep alive that go the glass canon route.

Dual Wielding is a poor choice. Most use two-hander and quiver for the dramatically higher DPS over one-handers (Hand Crossbows are, frankly, crap). Getting two Hand Crossbows that are both good enough to justify dual wielding is pretty unlikely, whereas a high quality hand crossbow and a decent quiver has better odds for only a little less DPS. Shields provide survivability for those who aim for a balanced build, like myself.

From my time playing wow and my general experience with online gaming, most people make poor choices, knowingly and unknowingly. I make an intentionally poor choice with 2 weapon dual wielding because stylistically, I enjoy it. Some people do less than ideal skill builds because cookie cutter doesn't appeal to them. My expectation merely was that people would find dual wielding more stylistically appealing than using a shield , despite the fact using a shield would be mechanically more sound.
