Sorcerer/Magicka - two one handed weapons

Hey there.
Yesterday, I tested to play with 2 one handed weapons on my exec bar. This turned out to be quite a massive boost to my spell damage, so bosses with lower than 20% HP just melt.
Quick questions to more experienced sorcerers using two one handed weapons:
- Are the passives worth it / do they apply to us as well?
- Is there any way to completely play with two one handed weapons as a magicka range sorcerer? e.g. any spam cast that is not from the destruction staff line and that I just haven't seen? ;-)
Cheers!
PS: PS4, so if anything regarding this changed in IC patch, please give me a quick info. Much appreciated!

✭Hey there. I'm providing information with regards to the IC patch. The passive Twin Blade and Blunt will increase the spell damage from the swords by 5%. So the passives are totally worth it. There is no real way to use two one handed weapons all the time unfortunately. Sorcerers are stuck with weaving force pulse. The dual wield bar is typically used for execute or overload.
If you have a high spell damage and magicka you might want to consider using a two handed sword with the passive Heavy Weapons. The reasoning behind this approach can be found

Wow, thats really interesting - thanks for sharing!
I figure I'll have to craft a new weapon then, as soon as the patch is out for PS4 ;-)Edited by Noerknhar on September 14, 2015 11:15AM0
