Dual Weild Question

Thelevyeffect
This is probably a noob question but i'm missing something. Everyone keeps telling me you get a spell critical with dual wield on, and you don't have to put any skill points into it to get the bonus. My question is, how do you know it does that? i can't find on there where it says you get the bonus. Am I missing something simple?

    They are probably talking about spell damage, not spell crit. Melee weapons (2h and dual wield) grant higher weapon and spell damage than ranged weapons. Additionally equipping 2 swords instead of one staff will allow you to get an additional part of a gear set, so you get another buff. Furthermore there is a passive that increases all damage you do when you have 2 1h-swords or a 2h-sword equipped.

    Sorry about that I forgot which buff. Is the passive called Dual Wield Expert? Thanks for the help lolo!

    "Twin Blade and Blunt" for dual wield, "Heavy weapons" for 2 handed.

    Ok, I see how it works. Thanks for the info Lolo. I know it's probably stupid questions but it helps.
