the pen is mightier than the sword... but what about 2 swords!!!

this article says:

One of the things that became apparent early in the development of Guild Wars 2 was that we needed a diverse set of weapons to support our skill system. The full list of standard wieldable weapons in Guild Wars 2 is as follows:
One-Handed: Axe, dagger, mace, pistol, scepter, and sword.
Two-Handed: Greatsword, hammer, longbow, rifle, shortbow, and staff.
Offhand only: Focus, shield, torch, and warhorn

each weapon comes with skills attached by the sounds of things - 5 for a 2 handed weapon, 3 for main hand, 2 for offhand - and i think some of the one handed can be used in off hand - 2 swords for example, and the rather obvious 2 daggers

more on skills etc later

wooo!!
