Upcoming Unique Items

Is there a chance dual-wielding those swords with 30% AoE will be BiS for one of the new skills?

The problem is that having 30% AoE would never, ever be worth the HUGE hit you're taking to attack speed by not using frenzy charges and/or Blood Rage. More attacks = more AoE as well as having the option to hit stronger enemies multiple times.
And this is before you even factor in the 80% slower whirling blades/leap slam that double fisting these awful swords would require.
And the fact that these swords have zero attack speed on them.
And the 300 STR requirement.

Simply by using a Scaeva instead (which has better DPS, 1/3 the stat requirements, and is available at a lower level) you completely obsolete this new unique before it's even an equipable option.

Because....?

Some love fore mines?

Thanks Pirate,it does look like trash but theres gotta be some build they think its good for.
Maybe another skill up the sleeve we dont know about :/

This might be an item thats just great for trash then we swap weapons to our boss killer.
I see that belt maybe in the same way.

Maybe they dont want us leveling gems on the offhand,and prefer a trash/boss weapon swap meta.

Yep this weapon is designed specifically for Charged Dash
With DW 2 of the swords you get -80% speed reduction, and if you put Kaom's Roots you'll be overlapping all of the AoE's, only issues i see here is being unable to dodge boss attacks which is a big issue.

See this fukn guys getting it

...no?

From the Charged Dash skill reveal:
"The speed the target mirage moves at is based on your player movement speed but slightly increased. This lets you use the skill as a movement skill to cross gaps and boost travel time. The number of damage areas is based on attack speed; The faster you can attack, the more damage areas you'll create as you travel."

Having 80% reduced attack speed on charged dash means it's creating 1/5 of the damage zones en route to the target. This sword is literally the worst choice in the entire game for Charged Dash... and that's without even addressing how ridiculous the +300 STR requirement is on a crit build.
