The True Swordsman Dual Wield Prismatic Eclipse

The increase physical damage is not for the weapon, its stacking with str and passives

The sword's raw dmg is shit

The speed is shit

This unique is shit

1hand and shield >

Wait...I thought the sockets from you your armor also counts?

I'm doing something along similar lines but with a different set of uniques.



You still get the +20% Block chance as you would from dual wielding Prismatics, but the other bonuses are much nicer (on a low life build), especially the +100% Total Damage & the +90% Global Crit Chance. Plus your base attack speed & crit (on the gauche) are both better than Prismatic Eclipse as well. Dual wielding fast weapons with that +100% Total damage mod means that the Fire & Lightning auras give huge bonuses to your attack damage, while the +20% block chance gives you a lot more survivability than a dual redbeak build would have. Plus since the damage bonus is for all types of damage, you're not limited to just weapon attacks.

EDIT: As far as Prismatic Eclipse goes, I think the main way to use it is to pretend it's a weird offensive shield, stick it in your off-hand slot, and use skills that will only utilize your main hand like Double Strike. I guess you could also use 2 Prismatic Eclipse, get all red slots, and then combine it with a bunch of flat physical damage gear, but I'm guessing facebreaker would work better there.

I was thinking about a Prismatic DW build too, and this is what I got:
A 64-127 roll is the best you can get (at least in Torment), so (64 + 127)/2 = 95.5 hit dmg, if you decide to use Cleave (one of the three skills that would work with double Prismatic), you'd get 95.5 x 0.6 x 2 = 114.6 hit dmg. Now, you'd need to add the more bonus from dual-wielding itself, so 114.6 x 120 / 100 = 137.52 after more melee physical dmg. Your base attack speed is 1.3, let's add more attack speed from dw, 1.3 x 110 / 100 = 1.43. Now let's add the dmg from sockets.
R-R-R x 2 = 150% incr. pdmg, so 137.52 x 2.5 = 343.8 hit dmg, x 1.43 aps = 491 pdps.
Now, let's take two 100-200 dmg swords with 2 aps (if you're lucky you wouldn't spend more than 4-5ex on those).
(100 + 200)/2 = 150 hit dmg, x 0.6 x 2 = 180 x more pdmg from dw = 216 x 2.2 aps (2 x bonus from dw) = 475.2 pdps. But that's theory crafting.
But, what would happen if we added some more stats. Let's say we have a build with 400% incr pdmg from tree (str bonus included),
Prismatic DW = 137.52 x 6.5 (bonus from sockets and tree) = 893.88 x 1.43 aps = 1,278.24 pdps,
Standard DW = 216 x 5 = 1,080 x 2.2 aps = 2,376.
In other words, the more stats you add to the mix (support gems, other items) the bigger the gap gets between 2 x solid swords and 2 x Prismatic.

Note: I was playing a Prismatic + 300 pdps axe build in Rampage, with BoR my dps was 52,000. When I swapped the Prismatic for another 300 pdps axe my pdps went thru the roof to 80,000.
