It just depends on whether he wants to fight one weapon, or two weapon. He switches up a lot mid-encounter. Just because someone has a second weapon in their hand does not mean that they have to use it.Our Rogue sometimes walks into a fight with no weapons prepared. If he needs to pull out his bow, he does so. If he needs to fight two weapon, he doesn't get the second weapon out until round two, but that doesn't slow him up too much. If he needs to cast a spell (off his magic dagger, or one of his own), he does so.Just like our Fighter and Cleric sometimes use one handed weapons and shields, or two handed weapons. A lot of it depends on where we are, what types of fights we have recently been in, what we are expecting in the near future.I think a lot of players get used to using the same tactics a lot, especially fighter and rogue players.Last encounter, our fighter rushed in with sword and shield and attacked. He was promptly surrounded. Next round, he did a dodge action. Since he has the Sentinel feat and the Heavy Armor Master feat, and the Battle Master parry (and a party with 3 casters who can heal), he doesn't care too much if he is surrounded. A lot of players would just swing away on their turn, hoping to take down a foe, never even thinking to dodge.</blockquote>
