Why does reave not work properly with Dual wield?
|
I don't think anyone would bother dual wielding if it wasn't for Cleave.
The 10% more attack speed is nothing and may not even compensate for the fact that your second weapon is probably not as good as your main. 15% block is ok, but shields will have at least 24%. And a good defense stat, and a life mod, and resists. If your second weapon has resists on it, it probably sucks for offense and you're better off using a shield. Anyways, like I said, Cleave is why dual wield is still good. The skill is broken and makes all other skills look ineffective for dual wield... hence these threads appear.

" Well dual strike is great too, but I'm using claws and would love to have reave actually be viable for my character. but it won't be. Why would I bother using reave with dual wield when I could use it with a shield for the exact same results? only much better character stats. guess I'm stuck using dual strike some more. |

Dual strike is cool, but people overlook the fact that it does nothing beyond combining the damage of both weapons.
Other single target skills usually have some form of damage effectivness modifier (125% to 150%) and a special effect (freeze for Glacial hammer, stun for Heavy Strike, and so on). Dual strike is not as powerful as it may look firsthand, especially if your second weapon is inferior to your primary. But yeah, it can be good for pure DPS when geared properly.

please make reave hit with both weapons when dual wielding just like cleave does. right now cleave is still superior in damage.
alternating weapons is stupid for 10% attack when i could just get a shield. just give us the option to hit with both weapons when dual wielding it..

I think the OP might not have the capacity to comprehend that dual wield is not suppose to have the same dps as 2hder.
It won't understand that a 1h+shield will have much Greater defense. It's spoiled and wants to have the best of both worlds. LOL /thread [Removed by Support]

This is incredibly disappointing. Why did you bother to state the skill works with dual wielding on its reveal if this is what you were going for? By this definition, everything works with dual wielding unless it requires a 2-hander.
Guess I got excited over this for nothing. |

" anyone who has tried cleave and the REST of the melee skills know cleave it king. Rest is trash. dual strike and melee splash? pffffttt reave? pfffffffttttt BLENDER BLENDER BLENDER! The rest of the 'end-game' content will be available along with a heap of new stuff when the game launches in a few months time. From what I've seen it's going to be awesome. - Michael_GGG

So... daggers and rapiers at least give you global multiplier and chance. That's at least a something.
But claws. What justification is there for dual wielding claws? I can't even think up of a goofy edge case scenario here. |

Got to about page 2 before i realized this is either a troll thread, or a pampered brat throwing an uninformed tantrum.
