Hits can't be evaded

Does someone know if this affix on a weapon is local or global ? From what the tooltip says, it is local. It does not provide 100% chance to hit on both weapons while dual-wielding. But can we trust the tooltip in this case ? :p

PoEDB lists whether a modifier is local or global, you can search for your item there.

It's local

Thanks guys ;)

If you are using cleave or dual strike, then they count as main hand hits afaik. So you only need hits can't be evaded in the main hand.

they count as one hit (damage is merged), but you can miss (or crit) with one weapon and not with the other

The hit counts as coming from your main hand though. So afaik you can't miss if your main hand has 'hits cannot be evaded'.

Dual Wielding: If the player's weapons have different critical strike chance values, it is possible to critical with one weapon, but not the other. It is also possible to miss with only one of the weapons swung. The decrease to dual wielding damage is additive (not multiplicative) at 60% for each weapon [2]. The character tab DPS display is inaccurate for this skill because it doesn't currently account properly for dual wielding attacks.

It implies that calculation is done for each weapon separately. Your main hand weapon overrides the accuracy check with the mod, but not the other. So, you will hit with every attack (because you main hand weapon will always hit), but you won't be doing the damage with both at all times, because the second one will miss from time to time.

This is the part I am taking issue with. Afaik, the hit from the off-hand counts as though it came from your main hand weapon. So if you have leech, or ghost reaver, or bleeding etc... on that weapon, it will apply to both, and if you have them on the off-hand it will apply to neither. I'm suggesting that 'hits cannot be evaded' is another mod like this, that will apply to both parts of the hit. If it was on the off-hand only, then both parts could still miss.

It's quite difficult to test in game though, so I don't know for sure.

If your theory holds true, then you could just equip Soul Taker in off hand and see if enemies are getting chilled. If they aren't they your theory is false. :P
