Why does reave not work properly with Dual wield?

Reave (and Frenzy, and numerous support gems like Life Gain on Hit) are considerably stronger the faster you attack.

Dual-wielding gives you 10% more attack speed.

Are the synapses connecting yet?

Holy fuck, 90% of the population hasn't even downloaded the patch yet, and you're already calling for a buff to the new gem, lmao

This is great

Edit: And you bumped your thread 2 minutes after posting it roflololol

This, I hope you die slowly.

Even better than cleave i might say.

It does half of cleaves dps if dual wielding.

I was pretty disappointed... dual wielding claws still have to dual strike + melee splash.

It's not always about the dmg. I can see myself killing map bosses way easier with reave than with cleave if i could just get over the stupid animation.

Edit: If you care about the dmg part, think of it like this. Before you had to use dual+splash. Now you have 1 skill slot open for more dmg supports.

Um....

Half? Your definition of DPS is also not taking into account AoE.

given that you have to constantly reposition yourself to put mobs into aoe it is a moot point. melee splash is indiscriminate and works in 360'. this one works in a cone - just tried it in citi of sarn vs some whirlingbladers. good luck using this skill there with any success, good luck

currently if u have 8 stacks of reave, u can use SHIFT and attack mobs without being near them. i'm interested to know if this is a bug or if intended.

it's like a nova build. it looks retarded attacking air and killing stuff but it might have been intended.

Wtf? Shift is used to stand still and attack.

8 stacks of reave is a big frontal cone aoe

Im not sure why the hell it would be a bug.

skill was designed NOT for dualwielding
its claw/sword + shield in first place
why u expect from it? overDPS dual strike? we have melee splash for duo, cleave for 2H and this for 1H
Looks good for me and designed very well
More Aoe than Cleave in full stack + crit possibility of claws/daggers make it strong skill gem

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..

No it isn't. Daggers can't cleave. crit dagger reave beats axe cleave in dps, lol. (of course both accepting godly equip) :D
