what are some hints, tips, tactics, for a future Florentine fighter?

Huh. Not a bot. How 'bout that.

Here you go dude. Read 'em all, repeatedly, until you know them top to bottom backwards and forwards. Then go to about 2 big events (>75 people). I'm not trying to be rude, but honestly this is the best compilation of resources on the web, and it'll be worth a lot to you to do that. And until you have some in person experience, nothing you get here will be of any value to you.

You can probably skip the 'heralding' and 'other' sections.

What Slagar said is prolly the best advice out there. I am sure it's said in all that tutorial stuff, but make sure, as a dual wielder, that you practice your shots with both hands. Twice as hard with your off hand, if it's as retarded as most peoples.

Don't worry about getting shot by arrows, stabbed by spears, having countless javelins (and rocks) thrown at you and red users trying to crush you.

It's going to happen anyway, just don't worry about it. Stick with it and you'll get to a rocking place.

[Big King Jimmy]

Stop doing everything with your main hand, start doing everything off handed. Eat, cook, bathe, EVERYTHING off handed.

[The Great Gigsby]

If you're just starting out and don't have as much experience using your off hand offensively, try using your main hand to bait. Pick up a shorter sword and stick it in your main and use this guard:

One of the snazzy things about having your guard pointed at your enemy is that it obscures the length of your weapon somewhat. Bait with your main hand and if they take it, light them up with your off hand. If you anticipate their attack, you can block it by twisting your wrist. I see a lot of florentiners of all levels use this guard. It should definitely be in your vocabulary, just don't get too predictable.
