    Faith torque vs Asperity Necklace

    I have both for mnk, but am wondering is the hand to hand skill + better? I already get a ton of it from Oatixur but I dunno the double attack on Asperity seems like it might be better.

    Asperity. Faith Torque isn't too great.

    The + skill on anything other than gear with item level on it is not the same and holds virtually zero value

    Does Oatixur's +skill affect your off hand as well? I assumed it does but SE seems to be stingy with hand to hand bonuses.

    If it didn't, you'd have a hell of a whiffing rate in Delve.

    Why wouldnt it? Its all one weapon, SE said that skill will only affect the weapon its on if you're dual wielding. Last I checked, you cant do Oat's and Rigors.

    Probably because of the weird way SE does stuff with h2h. Like how aftermath effects only 1 hand I could see why someone might think SE would go full retard.

    Given the strange stuff SE has been doing for H2H Alarial's question was more than legit.

    I'm not really sure I get the attitude of perople like you. How much time did it take you to get that pic, copy the url, paste it into a thread and then post it? And for what reason? To look cool? To feel better than someone else? Do you really need stuff like this to fuel your self esteem?

    Okay then break it down like so:
    Acc/atk+7 and maybe DMG+1
    Vs
    Atk+8, stp+3, DA+2

    Pretty sure there arent many situations where the first one wins out.


    Not to mention, despite the games deprived sad state, if h2h skill weapons only affected main hand, someone would have mentionned it 3 months ago. Considering every shout is "oat mnk x3", SOMEONE would have noticed "hey, my second punch always misses".

    That question wasn't really legit. It was more of me wondering how someone could have missing something so obvious. H2h only fits in the main hand slot and well... an offhand weapon would be equipped in the sub-slot. I know I've had my days of dur moments but this was just over the top. It felt like i was on Alla for a minute.

    H2H isn't comparable to 2 hand weapons or 1 handed. There is no off hand, and SE has consistently gimped off hand bonuses. Mythic does not proc DA/TA off hand. Empyrean does not proc ODD off hand. Relic does not proc OTD off hand.

    With the way SE coded the new +skill on weapons, it's not unimaginable they would follow the same "main hand" limitation. It's stupid yes, but what they've done dumber stuff in the past.

    As for "someone would have noticed" - I'm sure they would have, hence why I asked. I stopped playing a while back and just casually keep my knowledge updated in case I drop back in to play. Additionally, the accuracy difference may not have been as noticeable as people are suggesting if it's just on one fist and if melees are still getting significant melee accuracy buffs for the bosses.

    It's not an unreasonable question. Obviously "off hand" doesn't literally mean an off-hand h2h weapon.

    H2H Empyrean ODD actually procs off hand only, so that's at least one example of a counterintuitive result regarding h2h

    Having 160+++ extra accuracy in one fist will be VERY VERY noticable.

    Which is probably why he asked since someone is bound to have noticed

    This is a stupid question and you could have spent all of a minute to figure this out yourself. You're going to notice if your offhand is losing that kind of accuracy, and it would be well documented.
