Reave duel weild off hand help

well i am playing reave currently doing T12 and T13 comfortably unless its a nasty mod.
but i am very confused with the main and off hand thing , when i used an off hand mace, my damage and attack speed where reduced and i didn't need to read the numbers to notice it , its significant
so i disagree with ppl who say something like the off hand attack speed shouldn't affect, it does, when i wear an off hand with a high attack speed i can see even the animation of the attack is MUCH faster regards to the % of attack speed
so still now am using 2 foils one of them with increased dual wield damage and both have global critical multiplayer and critical chance ( in the stats attack chance, and critical chance are equal in both off hand and main hand)

so if what i am saying is wrong can someone please explain it to me because its really confusing me

thanks

Using Reave while dual wielding will alternate the weapon used for attacking.

Only works with Daggers, Claws, and One-Handed Swords

Thats how Reave works.

Now looking at your weapons:
Main sword 1.4 aps
Offhand sword: 1.71 aps

As stated above, with 2 swords equipped Reave will alternate the weapons and not only rely on your slow (1.4 aps) weapon but also the faster one (1.7 aps) for 1.55 aps on average.
If you were using a mace in your offhand, only the slower 1.4 aps weapon will be used and therefore feel slower overall.


Conclusion:
The base aps of your mainhand sucks ;)
Get a faster mainhand and a mace in your offhand should feel a lot better

ok thanks a lot :) will look for a better main and mace and update the difference here

ah and one more thing , the damage per seconds stat doesnt matter ?
coz with an offhand mace the overall number is reduced by a large ammount
also if i switch the faster weapon in main hand i lose 2k on my damage per seconds
thats the part that confused me from the first place about off hand maces and all this


thanks

The in game damage tooltip doesn't work with 'stat sticks'. If you want to get a better idea of your real damage, you have to use PoB.

came back to just thank u dude thanks a lot u where right

i even tried a sword and a mace that i had just to try it out, and not even so good , on numbers i lost 6k damage per sec in stats, but it felt soo much stronger tired it in an elder T11 map was really great
thanks again

Welcome :)


Consider Death's Hand as offhand.
You are running a crit build, its not expensive, reliable on bosses and reflect proof. No reason to not use it until you can afford a shaper stat stick.
