Giant's Blood - How does it work?

Giant's Blood lets me equip a two-handed weapon with 1 hand. Sounds nice. But now the big questions: What nodes will actually have an effect on this now? Will nodes for one-handed work now, since I wear them with one hand? Or will the two-handed nodes still work? And what about dual wield nodes, if I play with 2 two-handed weapons? And what about weapon-specific skills? Will my two-handed mace still count as a two-handed mace, even if I dual wield them?

Giant's Blood doesn't change the class of items. It will still only be affected by two-handed passives, not one-handed ones, even if you are technically one-handing them. However, if you use use two two-handed weapons you will count as dual wielding so those passives become available to you.

Ah, that's good to know. Thank you. At least the dual wield nodes count.

it scales with 2handed notes , and if you decide to dual wield (wich i strongly reccomend not to because you are alot weaker dps and def wise) you can also take these notes, though the distance is quite abit to get dual wield stuff

Thanks for the info, I'm interested in that node myself. But why would you be weaker dual wielding? My highest DPS skill is the basic attack while DW :-p
Defenses I get, that's natural without a shield. Swinging two big sticks sounds dope...
