Dual Strike is a strike skill. It attacks an enemy using both weapons at the same time, gaining more damage and critical strike chance against enemies at full life, and can only be used while dual wielding melee weapons.
Skill Functions and Interactions
- Dual Strike requires a weapon on both hands and can't be used while unarmed.
- Dual Wielding: Dual Strike attacks with both weapons simultaneously, averaging the attack speed of both weapons and combining the damage: both weapons will perform an independent damage calculation (including accuracy and critical strike checks), then the combined total is applied as a single hit.[1] It is possible to miss or crit with one weapon, but not the other.
- Damaging ailment DPS is calculated per weapon, then combined into one debuff, similar to hit damage.
- Elemental Equilibrium and Trinity Support count off of the combined damage of the Hit.
- On-hit effects will only check the result of the final hit.
- Non-damaging ailments and effects like Cruelty SupportCruelty SupportSupport, Duration
