Question about cyclone mechanics

What happens if I dual wield using this skill? Does it increment to the todal dps, or behave like, for exemple, reave, where it is decrimental to overall dps due to alternating weapons?

you hit once with both weapons per spin. when using 1H+Shield, you hit twice per spin. so it is kind of alternating hands, like majority of skills

what do you mean decrimental? You get more attack speed and phys damage bonuses when DW

Thanks for the reply. What I meant is that in some cases, alternating hands when attacking isn't really that good and there are better options.

the only skills that wont care about offhand weapon damage when DW are double strike, leap slam and ground slam

If you use two weapons that are nearly identical in power you will ge a significant damage boost from dualwielding. 20% more physical damage as well as 10% more attack speed mean effectively 32% more physical DPS.
The only way to loose DPS when dualwielding with cyclone is when one weapon is significantly weaker than the other one but in most cases you should see a DPS increase.
