Dual Strike
|
Dual strike only deals damage once, equal to the sum of calculated damage from each weapon. This damage is what causes elemental status effects.

thanks for the answer! That's what I'd hoped, but cleave/dual strike mechanics are sometimes a question mark. I'm glad about this, though, because it means I don't have to do anything meta to make my crits cause a freeze. Just get a big enough crit multiplier and possibly use weapons with slower base attack speed.

Does the character sheet display the correct dps on this skill yet? Or do I take what it says and double it?

So how does accuracy rating affect this skill? Like, what if my weapons have different accuracy ratings?
|
|
" Still needs to be doubled. " Funny, I was actually just coming to ask this same question! My guess would be that it averages the two, like it does (?) with attack speed. |

Each weapon hits or misses independently. If both hit, the damage is combined.
| |
" Double it. Or more specifically, I think it shows the DPS only for the part of DPS that comes from the "main" hand weapon, so if your off-hand weapon is similar the the main hand, doubling the DPS is a good approximation. |
|
"It's showing the average for both hands. New features that allow this to display correctly will be coming in 0.9.13 | |
" It actually is just double it. Because it's showing the average, and the average is (A+B)/2, when reality is just A+B, the actual number should always be double what you see on your character sheet. And thanks Mark for letting us know when to expect the fix, =) |
