Let's talk about Dual Wielding...
" How disappointing. Hopefully it's one of the unannounced changes GGG is saving for the big 2.0 patch day. "The Eye of Ra appears against you,

" No, equipping 2 weapons and clicking on an enemy functions just as the devs intend I guess. Regardless of build or skill gem. Thx for your input. "The Eye of Ra appears against you,

I read your first post and while I agree with your assessment that dual wielding characters should be fast and agile, I guess I don't understand how they currently can't be.
My main toon is a dual claw evaision based shadow. I don't have the exact stats on me but approx 50% evade without running grace, 46% dodge, plus block and spell dodge, good movement speed, over 9 attacks per second and 40k+ AOE damage. Not amazing but I don't know what I would want "buffed". As for casters, I haven't played a dual wield caster to end game because they seem understandably quite squishy. However, I would think that's how it should be when you give up a shield and the damage output has always seemed considerable so not sure that would need buffing. I do agree that it would be nice if there were more skills that used both weapons at once rather than alternating but other than that I wouldn't have any complaints and can't see how the whole dual wield concept needs buffing as I think you are suggesting. If I have that wrong and you were suggesting something else entirely then I apologise. | |

Bump. Was hoping Ascendancy would address some of the issues with DW. Oh well.
There's currently a discussion on reddit about the sad state of this mechanic if anyone is interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/4cjip6/dual_wielding_i_honestly_think_dual_wielding/ "The Eye of Ra appears against you,

Bump.
I will never forget you DW thread. I will bump you ahead of any, ANY major patch in hopes that some Dev takes notice. #dualwieldmatters "The Eye of Ra appears against you,
