So, if for example I was to combine Barbed Dagger and Blade of the Defiler, is there a chance of inflicting Bleeding wounds with every hit and do you get HP on the kill or is the chance of either of those things happening 50/50


(I've not yet worked out what CM is)

When you now specialize the Weapon Profiency of the weapons you use most, too - you will never miss it again.
But don't forget a second point for Combat Speed.
Yes, I already have that.

Yes.


Is that yes to every hit or yes to it's 50/50? :?

Critical multiplier. If both weapons have critical hits I'm not sure if you get the CM of the weapon in the main hand, or the highest CM of the two weapons. You certainly don't get to combine them though.

Antison means yes to every hit.

That was quick. Thanks for the clarification. 8-)

The principle is that you strike with both weapons on each hit.

I now have a fully fledged dual wielder: a run up and down BWM has given me a chance to try out some tactics.

I'm sure it shouldn't work like this, but using the DotSP and BSS, I seem to get better results when the DotSP is in the main hand than when it's equipped in the offhand.

Am I just imagining that?

It's not your imagination. Dual wield has issues in v0.7.1. Not all stats from the offhand are applied.
This is now fixed.

In the next update, presumably?

Bring it on - although updating anything computer related frightens me more than any new monsters! :oops:

In the next update indeed. There are other issues plaguing it for now, so release will have to wait.
