Hmpf. The blood stains I see most commonly are always the same: some wannabe-prododger two-handing a (ultra-)greatsword or a halberd dodging, and right after coming out of the roll, >BAM!< - dead.

Use a shield guys! If you want to parry, there is the targe shield. The defensive options a shield offers far outweigh whatever little benefit a second weapon brings.
