Dual Wielding bag of bugs

Hi, i was testing how dual mace weapon setup work and find something that look like bug's ot wrong working in mechanic

1) Attack speed.

When you equip 1 weapon you get base strike skill (mace strike) this skill has attack time modificator.

For example my have 0.22s, this mean that in 0.22s i make full atack with my weapon, and DPS on skill count 56 909 DPS base on my damage and attack speed.





Now i equip second weapon with same attack speed parametr.
our base skill swap from one heanded to dual and we get note that attack speed wwhile dual wielding have 30 less attack speed.

so we look at our screen and there is now only 0.31s base attack timer



so look like everything is perfect we have less speed but much more DPS, 103 584!



And here come our BUG

Attack speed is not your FULL ATTACK with 2 hands, but only 1 of them. You strike 1 hand at 0.31s rate then another for 0.31s. And your real DPS is 30% lower then with just 1 hand.

I have testet it multyple times with different weapon, 1 or 2 handed in one and dual wield, same result.

2. Critical strike

When you equip 1 weapon you get base strike skill (mace strike) out skill have Critical hit Box were we have info.



so everyting is just fine here, we have chanse and bonus damage, but now try to add dual setup (both weapons have similar stats and no crit damage bonus on item)



annnnd bingo! were from 876% crit bonus on second hand come? no way.


3. Skill mechanic

Dual wield have 30% less damage on all skills and it seems normal trade off, we still must get 140% damage against 100% with 1 hand.

but here is bad math comes.

Here is example with 1 hand mace




And this is same mace but dual hand



so we get just near same 100% damage as with one hand.


Pls check this and FIX it. I just want to play my style
