    They don't. All weapon passives are deactivated while Overload is active. Only weapon traits like nirnhoned do buff Overload's damage.
    Auri-El is my lord,
    Trinimac is my shield,
    Magnus is my mind.

    The passives do not work with overload, but the base spell/weapon damage that you get from dual wielding does.

    this is correct and why when overload sorcs were all the rage, i laughed at people paying 300k for sharpened elegant swords, when mauls or daggers or axes would provide the same amount of damage.

    Yeah, but then when not on OL, dw swords give the benefit. If you are a full minmaxer, why not.

    The only things on my back bar as a overload sorc were LL and surge, you are only there for a while 2 seconds, so that is why not.
