The dual swords have always been a purely DPS type of weapon, especially considering you have to be literally right next to the monster. The damage on them is very misleading, especially considering that's only for one blade, and you have two. You honestly don't need to know how to learn how to use this weapon to use it, it's a very quick weapon to learn how to use, similar to the lance.

But like the lance, learning to use it is the easy part. Learning how to use it WELL will take some effort like every other weapon.
