Dual wield when?

[Cakekizyy]

I'm a fan of dual wield in games like Dark Souls, so why not.

I thought I would want to see a dual wield spear build, but I cant think of a real benefit for it other than to show off weapons. Definitely would like a spear-shield wield instead of the spear taking two hands. Would also love to see a mage wield a sword or axe in the off hand, maybe a bow like Rosa can have in FF4.

Reminds me of my warden from lotro.
