Weapon effects while dual wielding

So I bought the Azure weapon effect and I'm wondering if there's a trick to put it on both weapons I'm using. I really hope I'm missing something and doesn't have to buy the effect twice to DW it...

They only work for one item at a time, so yea you will need two to dual wield.

That's like the most retarded thing ever... I hope they gonna fix this so you only need to get one.

it's not retarded at all. what if you wanted to have a different effect on each weapon?

lavender and emerald would look pretty special methinks

Well that does make sense I would contend the video previews have a bit of false advertising then. The second character always has dual daggers with it applied to both and no mention of the fact that you need to buy it twice to do that.

I know I was actually expecting to be able to apply it to both while dual wielding from seeing that in the video.

Sorry you feel it's 'retarded' but it's actually a completely fair model. Also, with the way they've set up the 'equipping of effects' system, it'd be virtually impossible to have it apply to both weapons. One effect, one weapon. It's pretty clear.

And as ualac wisely pointed out, we want the option to have two different effects on two different weapons. If that option didn't exist, there'd be a LOT more flak than with the current system. I can guarantee that, because I'd be leading the vanguard. ;)

"actually a completely fair model"

In your opinion - Personally, I don't think it's fair that dual-wielders have to pay double (in real cash) what 1h&shield or 2h users have to pay to have our weapons look pretty, and it certainly should should be clear that's the case on the microtransaction page.

Well I am dual wielding and just bought the ebony effect for my daggers, because I read that the effect would apply to both weapons but you could overwrite the 2nd weapon with another effect. Now I have to find out that it is only true for supporter packs. And like profDEADPOOL mentioned, dual wielding is shown in the videos just before you buy the effect. So I expected the same.

Can I refund the effect or expect any changes in the system? Because having only one weapon with the effect looks silly and buying it twice is waaaaay too much for only a simple weapon glow effect in my oppinion. GGG does a great job with PoE and I really want to support them, but not by buying totally overpriced weapon effects.

Weapon effects work on ONE weapon, once you use it on a weapon you can't use it on another weapon (and not on another character either).

Not retarded, they have to make money somehow.

You can actually reclaim the effects by opening your microtransactions inventory and clicking on the top right button. You can use your weapon effect as many times as you want. But only on one weapon at the same time.
