Hey guys!

I posted some reave feedback earlier and now with a better dagger and a 6L I'm currently enjoying an insane 30k DPS on reave without conc effect! Great work guys!

i.e. that's what happen when one chances two soul takers in 24 hours, and uses the proceeds to buy the best dagger in the realm.

People are being very ignorant about dual wield weapon alternating skills. I guess it's natural that whining is simpler than thinking.

Let me show you how you make the most out of it. Here's a few quick pointers about Reave:

Only works with Daggers, Claws and One Handed Swords.
When dual wielding, alternates between weapons if both weapons are one of the above.
If not, only hits with appropriate weapon.

This doesn't mean that non-appropriate weapon is as good as nothing. All global modifiers (Attack Speed, Global Crit, Increased Elemental Damage, Resistances, Stats etc.) apply to the attack, and that includes modifiers from your "stat stick" weapon.

Now, take a look at this beauty that costs 1 Alch:

50% Increased Attack Speed
30% Fire Res
30% Lightning Res

Damage sucks but who cares, Reave doesn't hit with Maces so only the damage from your other weapon counts. Also saves from having to get two godlike weapons.

Now suddenly the argument is whether a Shield is better than 10% MORE Attack Speed, 50% Increased Attack Speed and bunch of resistances.

And it doesn't end here. That's just one example of a weapon. You can use anything depending on build, a good rare, Supreme Truth for ele builds, even Soul Taker.

30k AoE DPS is far more than you'll ever need.

If I equip appropriate weapon (dagger, 1h sword or claw) with non-appropriate weapon (axe or mace), the damage from non-appropriate weapon does count to overall damage, both in tooltip and in the game world, while it obviously shouldn't.

Can we get a confirmation whether this is a bug or not? And if so, will it be fixed?

Mark, why do you hate the idea of simultaneous attacks so much?

I don't specifically hate it, although I certainly prefer alternating at a faster attack speed as that's more realistic and sensible.

Iirc, you and Chris had big disagreements about how dual wield skills should work

No idea where you got that from. Dual Wield has been this way since long before I joined the game, this isn't something I forced in.

Is it just me or does the skill have a very low hit limit ? For the past 5 hours playing with reave, i constantly see targets getting hit (the particle effect is on them), the display a stun animation, yet no damage is dealt. Is this a bug, or intended? And no, it wasnt desync, for 2 reasons. I spammed /oos to check this, and if it was desync i thing no stun animation would play.
