Skill functions and interactions

• Weapon Stats: It uses weapon stats, however, it ignores attack speed.
• Hit Rate: Each rotation hits two times per rotation for a total of 8 hits by default or 10 while dual wielding. Enchantment can increase this by one for a total of 12 hits per trap.
• Accuracy: Since this skill is considered an attack, it is affected by accuracy and therefore needed to hit consistently.
• MTX: Weapon effects affect the visual on this skill.
