    Dual Wield question

    Really easy question. Is the delay between your attack rounds when Dual wielding calculated as an average of the two delays of the equipped weapons or does it go off of the highest base delay?

    I thought for some reason that it would be your highest weapons base delay calculated between attack rounds. Guess not even though I think it would probably make more sense the other way.

    Re: Dual Wield question

    Uh, if I'm understanding you correctly, you're both wrong.

    Dual wield delay isn't an average of both weapon's delays, and it's not based on just one weapon either.

    It's (Delay of weapon 1) + (Delay of weapon 2) x (Your DW constant)

    Re: Dual Wield question

    Total delay is the sum of the two * the DW reduction (DW1 10%, DW2 15% look up the rest). TP for each hit is based off of the average delay after the total delay is calculated.
