Hi all, had a couple questions about dual wielding in Aion. Was considering a dual wield Gladiator.
1) How does the offhand work? Does it always swing, is there a chance for it to swing, etc? 2) any other important things to note about this mechanic, or inherent bonuses (or penalties) associated with it? Thanks! |

I just started dual wielding when I got my 3rd stigma slot, but so far from my knowledge, both weapons do swing. However, I have noticed that 1 weapon may hit and the other may miss (The only time this has ever happened for me is when a monster has inflicted me with some kind of blindness effect).
I'm not really sure on the exact mechanics but I think they take the speed from main hands weapon and the power from the strongest weapon, but i'm not really sure to tell you the truth. And for crit rate, only the crit rate of the main hand counts (manastones in the offhand count as well but not it's base crit rate). |

A crit-rate on a weapon counts for the weapon it is on, but they do not apply to the other, if I recall.

Duals arent that bad, better than greatsword, you lose the AoE's but they attack a lot faster so you are always getting the attacks in without delays. |

I know most folks say 2hand is the way to go for PvP....but I would think with the right build/gear/etc that a dual wield could be pretty nasty as well. Or swap between them depending on the situation. |

I use my pole for AoE and then switch to duel wield for crits since its higher and faster attk AoE are good when sins go into stealth mode since you really cant see them get close to them and use your AoE and you will hit them before they hit you and since its a chain AoE you hit them for # amount then switch to duel wield for fast and higher crit Last edited by Artnas; 06-30-2009 at 10:10 AM.. |

shift+z is default key for switching weapons.
