Skill functions and interactions

• Dual wielding: Lacerate when dual wielding always does a main-hand hit followed by an off-hand hit.. In the case of having an off-hand weapon other than a sword or axe, the main-hand weapon will be used for both slashes; making the off-hand effectively a 'stat-stick'. Likewise, if the off-hand weapon is a sword or axe but the main-hand weapon is not then the offhand weapon will be used for both slashes.

• Base radius of Lacerate is 38 units.
