Dual wielding mecanic question
Hey Exiles,
considering dual wielding 2 weapons. How are mace skills damage calculated, let's say for Earthquake mentioning: Strike with both weapons with 30% less damage. Is the total damage calculated from the sum of the Weapon main + Weapon off ? Is it instead 2 different hits, main and off hand separated ? How Ignite is behaving ? (1 instance from a total, or the last instance applied among the 2 hits ?) Finally, are there inherent bonus for dual wielding (AS, Block...) ? Thanks. Dernier bump le 11 mai 2025 à 22:50:12

It's a bit miss-leading since the detail window indicate the damage of the main hand and off-hand, but it might be as well understood as a break-down of the average damage mentioned on the top.

I should've rechecked the actual wording before replying I guess.
"To me this line implies one combined hit, and I intuitively decided that it works like in PoE1. But in-game it says "While Dual Wielding, both weapons hit with 30% less damage". This line is more open to interpretation. I did many tests with 2 identical maces and Perfect Strike (which also has the line as do most mace attacks). Apparently, ignites inflicted while dual wielded dealt exactly 30% less damage. Which means the weapons hit separately. |

Hits don't get combined like that in PoE2.
