Dual Swords do squat damage. The only good thing they have going for them damage-wise, is that they have A LOT higher elemental damage than other weapons (except SnS). And since elemental attacks deal 100% (70 for duals) every attack and duals attack very very quickly, elemental damage builds up much quicker than say... Greatwords or Hammers.
