Dual wielding refers to using a one-handed weapon in both hands. It is intended to be an option halfway between the damage output of two-handed weapons and the defensiveness of a shield and weapon combo.

Mechanics

Whenever the player equips two one-handed weapons of any type, dual wielding grants the following stats:

• +15% Chance to Block Attack Damage while Dual Wielding
• 10% more Attack Speed while Dual Wielding

The attack speed bonus is applied multiplicatively with other attack speed modifiers. There are additional bonuses to dual wielding which can be gained via passive skills. Weapons do not have to be of the same type to receive dual wielding bonuses.

There are no penalties of any kind to attacks with the player's off-hand weapon. The majority of attack skills in Path of Exile will alternate between equipped weapons for attacks, swinging first with the main hand and then with the off-hand weapon. The resulting attack speed is the average of the two weapons' attack speed, so the total time for a pair of attacks is as if each weapon attacked once.

While dual wielding, your attack range is equal to the lower of the two weapons wielded.

It is possible to dual-wield wands. However, players cannot wield a wand in one hand and a melee weapon in the other.

Interaction with skills

While dual wielding, when you use an attack skill you will use the skill with your main hand then use it on the off hand, alternating with each use.

When using a weapon-specific skill while dual wielding, both weapons must be compatible with the skill in order for the skill to be usable. For example, you cannot use ReaveReaveAttack, AoE, Melee

Version history

Version	Changes
3.11.0	No longer grants 20% more physical attack damage. It still grants 10% more attack speed and 15% chance to block attack hits.
3.5.0	You can no longer use skills that require a specific weapon if you are dual-wielding and one of your equipped weapons is unsuitable for that skill. For example, you will no longer be able to use Reave with a dagger and sceptre equipped.
0.9.3	Implicit bonus for dual wielding is now reduced to +10% attack speed. The rest will come from passives. Characters now block 15% of the time by default while dual wielding.
0.8.6	Attack speed is now calculated correctly while dual wielding.
0.6.0	Dual wielding works now.
