one handed weapon dmg = dual wield dmg?

Hey there guys,

simple question or is it?

Technically dual wielding is wielding two one handed weapons.
The skill tree does not really tell if the game does differentiate in that matter.

Dual wielding bonuses apply any time you're wielding two weapons.

One handed bonuses apply to any damage you deal with a one-handed weapon.

Since there's no way to dual wield two-handed weapons (yet) the only weapons you can dual wield are one handed and so get bonuses for that if you have them.

Probably a future marauder keystone allowing you to use 2h weapons as 1h weapons. Can be balanced by applying a flat penalty to the keystone... could be cool, allowing 1h skills and perks to apply to 2h weapons.

I`m not too fond of dual-wielding. I made a Duelist on my brother`s account.. I mainly just use Flicker Strike which seems like it would be even better with a slower weapon that does more damage. Since only one of your two weapons can attack at once, not including Dual Strike, your damage per second attacking really isn`t any better using two weapons. I am only like level 22 though so I`m not all too familiar with the skills and gems.

My question:
Is the dual wield skill on top of one-handed skills?

As like i have passive skills which boosts one-hand and when i equip a second weapon do i get bonus from dual wield on top of my allready chosen one-handed skills or are those replaced by dual-wield skills?

As long as you are using one-handed weapons, you get the one-handed weapon bonuses.

Yes, the bonuses stack.
