Why nerf dual wielding? Whats the point of it now?
" Sure it is. Dual Wield beat(s) 2H by a lot more than "20% more damage". Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

Where are people seeing this nerf announced? I don't see the 3.11 patch notes in the Patch Notes area of the forums...?

" Balance manifesto contains some data, such as the numerical changes to dual wielding bonus There's no powercreep here. Creep implies it's slow and could be overlooked, this is a full out sprint.

" Why? |

" It's deeper than pure mathematics, as you know. - One-handed weapons are currently a lot better. Better crit. Better speed. Better crit multi (as you get double up). - One-handed builds have better access to more/better defenses. No problem getting max block on both 1H+shield or DW. Shields can also have -Mana Reservation, max resistances and so on. - On top of that, DW gets 10 MORE attack speed, not increased. And used to get 20 MORE attack damage. - Crit is better with speed. Impale is better with speed. Leech is better with speed. Hell, even bleed is better with a certain amount of speed, due to Crimson Dance. Accuracy is better with speed. - Foils also have the benefit of the same (or better) melee strike range as 2H. - Hell, I would even say that 1H-builds have better and more specialized Ascendancy options. Your typical choices for 1H-builds have greater access to speed. So bring your calculator and tell me that DW wasn't better than 2H. I can promise you that DW will still be the best choice, unless they totally go ham with the patch notes, buffing the hell out of 2H. Because the buffs we've seen so far, are minor - and the nerf to DW is also pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.
