Dual wield isn't very efficient in real life. It does look interesting in motion, but the off-hand is usually meant for parrying, not for attacking. :-)
Regarding staves: I say, rename "staves" to "batons" (that's what they are... calling them "staves" is probably just a translation error in first place!) and give us real, two-handed quarterstaff. It could very well reuse the pike animation.
