I'm wanting to play Deathlord but from some things I read, medium duel wield is'nt sounding worth it. I was wondering if there were any good medium weapons that are able to be dual wield. (anything better than Kama of Void which is a light weapon)
Thx,

Deathlord Question
I just finished playing CE as a Dwarf Marduer/Crusader so I had the same thoughts. I don't know what verison you have but it makes a difference on finding stuff. I saved before I choose Crusader so I could go back and try Deathlord. I played DL in V1.3 and it sucked, but I can't remember what weapon I used. I think only a rusty ax would work. It's fixed in CE, not sure about 1.4, but I think so.
I did just finish the game last week and I did find one Med weapon better (i think) than Kama of the Void (Lvl 8 Magic Weaponry, Nether Strike, Bleeding Wound 25%, Paralyze 35% Damage: 8 - 14) which my Mar/Cru also used (found it in ToS). I believe all the med swords can go in the off-hand. It's the bigger Heavy swords that won't allow Duel, i.e. Blade of Death,all of the Barbtongues. I used a Diamond Light Greatsword that i got on the Crusader quest or the Sapphire Greatsword I found in Dreadoth Temple. You can find ( by reloading ) most of the 6-20 Greadswords there. The only Heavy Swords I did'nt find were the 3 Demonblades, and the No-Dachi of Night.
As for Medium I found the Bladerelic of Flame (Lvl 8 Magic Weaponry, Fire Strike Damage: 7 - 15) in Dreadoth. That same chest might give you Bladerelic of Night (Lvl 9 Magic Weaponry, Nether Strike Damage: 8 - 18) or Divine Bladerelic (Lvl 10 Magic Weaponry, Rune Strike, Pro vs. Undead Damage: 9 - 21) with some patience. That chest at the end of Dreadoth gave only Med weapons. The best Med sword I got was The Katana of the Sun (Critical Strike 5%, Damage: 8 - 22, Strike Bonus: +8). It's hard to compare it with the Kama of the Void with it's Magical bounses. I found the Winter Katana (Lvl 7 Magic Weaponry, Ice Strike Damage: 4 - 16) but it's a draw with the Kama and I did'nt find it until Irynthabl Maze. The only Medium sword i did'nt find was Demonic Katana (Critical Strike 10%,Damage: 6 - 24). BTW the strike bonuses don't work in the off-hand so not strike bug probems there.
As for other weapons I can'nt say for sure it will go off-hand but the Totemic Runemace (Stun 40% Damage: 6 - 24) that Big Bad Moog drops in CE would be a good choice. I will try to equip my char with it as soon as I get the DL quest done.
In closing, I'm not sure about Duel Med either. I choose Crusader over DL for the bonuses and the heraldry (Strike +4, Damage +20%, Speed +20%). My damage was +160 when I finished. The DL heraldry did'nt impress me (Fear Strike +25%, Strike +3).

Thank you for the info. I have the CE. I read some other posts that said you couldnt medium dual anything good. They must have been playing earlier versions. I just didnt want to go through all the pain to get Deathlord and find out it wasnt worth it. Yeah the heraldry is kind of lame for DL. I've played Ninja Lord , War Witch , Shaolei Master and Wizard so far.
