BTS43 Combat: Evolution Cont.
Quick find code: 294-295-235-65136705
This video gave me an idea. You have to auto-attack if you want to cast fire and water spells simultaneously, so using abilities and dual-wielding two spells are essentially canceling each other's purpose out. For example, a tactic I could use when dual-wielding two spells is to use basic abilities until I use one threshold ability, then wait for my character to auto-fire two spells for added effect. The problem with this is that, after using abilities, there is a delay before your character auto-attacks. And auto-attacking gains less adrenaline than using abilities, so there would be no point in firing my water and fire spells in PvP where adrenaline plays an important role.
What I thought about was if we had an ability that when pressed, immediately auto-attacks once (two hits if dual wield), dual-wielding spells would be very efficient. It would allow for a greater range of tactics and possibilities in combat. I could use a threshold ability, then use the auto-attack ability for firing two basic spells at once. Of course, the auto-attack ability has to have a cooldown time (it is an ability after all). It would be even better if you gained adrenaline when using the auto-attack ability (to attack only once, and has cooldown).
This would allow for even more choice in ability rotation, along with the new basic abilities, as mentioned in March's BTS.
With this auto-attack ability comes even more possibilities in combat--I could use Slaughter on an enemy, then use the auto-attack for one hit with a chaotic weapon and another hit from a crossbow with an enchanted bolt. This utilises basic spells and weapons which effects only trigger when auto-attacking to their fullest. Godswords and Enchanted excaliburs are another group of weapons that would benefit from this.
Hmm, I thought this wasn't suggestion-worthy until I wrote this, so I guess I'll post this in suggestions now, just in case.

Awesome updates guys, keep it up!
Also, what's taking so long with off-hand dungeon weapons?
I would love to dual wield in dungeoneering. Dual wielder for life! I would like an off-hand primal longsword :3.
Really? you would seriously sacrifice a bind slot for a weapon that is just as good as 2h (actually worse because dual wield doesn't have AoE abilities) but takes away more binds?
Yep. -w- I have 3 empty slots, plus I can just get rid of my Primal kiteshield and switch with the off-hand weapon.
Not sure why AoE abilities matter, Dual wielding now is just as useful as the 2h weapons, regardless if it doesn't have AoE abilities.
