Dual wield when?

[Nalien]

ninjas don't count as they use daggers.

Nonono, Ninja doesn't count because it doesn't dual wield... It has one weapon and it auto-attacks once... Dual wielding would involve equipping two weapons (like Paladin), allowing for more variety in weapon glamour (like new Thancred, who wields two distinctly different weapons) and actually hitting more due to the extra weapon...

Ninja actually rarely uses daggers... Most of its weapons are short swords these days...
