If you are using double swing, double throw, or frenzy, both will be used per click.If you are using normal attack (assassin), the claws alternate.If you are using normal attack (non-assassin), only your right-hand weapon will be used.

See elsewhere for subtleties of left and right hand weapons but generally the right-hand weapon is above the glove, the left-hand is above the boot. There is a complicated answer to this and I can only provide partial information.But you can't dual wield with Axe of Fechmar because it is a 2-handed axe not a 2-handed sword. For example, you can dual wield Patriarch sword (2-hand) and Grandfather sword (2-hand). Also all swords can be used as a 1-handed weapon on a barbarian. Your right hand strikes first, but in most scenarios it's fairly moot whether you keep your weapons on one hand or the other.īarbarians can dual wield any two 1-handed weapons. And of course, dual wielding is necessary to use a number of combat skills like Double Swing, Double Throw, and Frenzy for the Barbarian, and some martial arts skills for the Assassin. Clicking faster has no effect, and the damage is simply that of each weapon hitting. However, the speed is generally faster than if you just swung either of the weapons twice. The attack speed is calculated for each arm swing, so different weapon speeds will result in different attack speeds. When you perform normal attacks, you will alternate between the weapons in your hands. Assassins can only dual wield their claw weapons. This does reduce the damage, and the power of the weapon for both single-handed and two-handed version is listed on hovering. As a final point, they can also wield a two-handed sword in a single hand in order to dual-wield. They can also dual wield throwing weapons like javelins, but without the Double Throw skill they can't throw from both hands. Barbarians (and Assassins, in the expansion) are the only classes who can dual wield.īarbarians can dual wield any one-handed melee weapons - one-handed swords, one-handed axes, one-handed hammers.
