Q u o t e:
Rogues are the only class in the game that are required to dual wield for sufficient damage output. Have you tried taking a rogue from 1-10 with a single dagger that misses 50% of the time?

This is pretty much the answer. While other classes can viably dual wield, it's a core part of the rogue class. As one aspect of the many changes we're making in patch 3.3 to improve the learning curve for brand new players, we're making it so that rogues, by default, know how to dual wield.

I'm glad I got my suit dry-cleaned before the riots started...

I think its a good thing...or something.

Does this also mean that Death Knights will have a dictionary in their starting area?

You should not be asking for Dual Wield at a lower level for hunters, idk about warriors, since you are a hunter you SHOULD be using your BOW 90% of the time.

Exactly. Unless we gain an ability to dual wield guns or crossbows (which we won't), dual wield is a low priority for hunters, except perhaps for stat purposes.

The next hero class should use a melee weapon in the mainhand and a gun in the offhand.

Laugh it away, you! I assume it's impossible to look back to a time when you had little knowledge of, or experience with MMORPGs and cannot even fathom the notion that it can be daunting to log into this expansive universe for the very first time, trying to figure out what to do from little tooltips (which are also being vastly improved in patch 3.3).

So let us all now laugh together about how much everyone should know about every aspect of this game, how experienced we all are, and how well we perform in the face of any challenge the game has to offer with such little effort. :)

I support this, though I prefer when people read through the website's game guide before first trying it, as I and a friend of mine who recently joined did. Just because players don't have to know everything, doesn't mean they have to know nothing.

Well clearly we figured it out ok.

But you guys should do something to help new players know what kind of gear they actually want to pick up, that was the most confusing thing I remember when I first leveled to 60. It'd help if you got rid of all those of the whale items and so on, but I guess that'll be cataclysm.

Q u o t e:
Only human rogues should get TWF at level one.

Everyone else should only get weapon finesse.

Whoa there, let's not bring a thinking man's game into my World of Warcraft. I come here to do dps spamming 2 and a half buttons. Not figure out how we're gonna disarm the spike pit trap the lvl 1 kobolds built in this dangerously narrow hallway and why did the cleric lead the way into this dungeon anyways?

I had a new-80 tank H VH for us the other day. He openly said that he had never done the fight before, but had read up on it. He did great. He's going to make a great tank in the future.

if you're going to do this, you should also start rogues off with an offhand at level 1.
