Question about Dual Wield

SeaGtGruff · May 2021

In the Dual Wield skill, are there any differences and advantages/disadvantages between the different types of one-handed weapons, such as the speed at which you can attack, or the type of injuries done and any extra effects such as bleeding damage, etc.?

I just think it looks cool. 😎

Yes. The last passive is what matters. Daggers increase your crit chance, maces increase penetration, swords increase weapon and spell damage, axes.... increase your critical damage done apparently. That got changed, used to have a chance to deal extra damage over time.

Two handed and desto staves also get different buffs depending on what you use. One handed and shield it doesn't matter if your weapon is a sword, dagger, axe or mace.

Different types of damage have a chance to apply different status effects. Physical/martial damage can apply a bleeding effect. It's best to read the in game help in the ui, as there will be more complete information there.

Physical applies sundered which is minor breach
Bleed applies haemorage which is a dot which also shrinks your health bar can't remember what this debuff is called.
Axe - crit damage/healing
Dagger - crit chance
Mace - penetration
Sword - WD/SD

Thank you, @relentless_turnip 😁

I was at work and couldn't confirm the details.
