Reave With dual wielding ?

Hello !
I have a question :
Does Reave works correctly will dual wielding ? It seems not :/

why not?

Because I do more domage with 1 sword and 1 mace (with is not suposed to count in the calculation of the dps) than with 2 swords.

dw gives you 10% more attack speed bonus no matter if you alternate hands (with two swords) or use only your main hand (due to reave weapon type restriction)

so you should be doing more dmg with your best sword (or other allowed weapon type) and any non-supported weapon in off-hand than with your best supported weapon and 2nd best supported weapon dw

and, dps tooltip can be wrong in such cases. Ive noticed it when using prismatic eclipse (or ungils) as offhand support with double strike

(Im not 100% sure with this statemant because Im not sure how weapons´ different attack speeds factor in when using only one hand when dw, but Im sure Im gonna be corrected if wrong)

reave alternates weapons when dual wielding, so the tooltip dps will average the damage between both weapons when both are usable by reave, however in the case of using 1 sword and a mace reave will only be cast and tooltip damage applied by the 1h sword, which is probably better than the other usable weapon you were using for dual wield which is why it shows as an average higher dps tooltip.

see what im saying? thats probably worded all confusing and such. but essentially its because your main 1h sword is better, since reave alternates weapons and does not utilize both weapons at the same time.

Yeah, if you use only one hand the base speed of that weapon is used, and all DW bonuses. Tooltip is very wrong in some cases, even though your sword+mace reave combo probably really does more damage in this case, I generally wouldn't place too much trust in it.
