* Your character will launch alternating attacks, first right then left, with the equipped weapons.
** Melee attacks using 2 weapons become 20% faster (both the animations themselves and how quickly the power bar fills).
* The power bar fills between each attack. As an example, you'd see right attack, power bar, left attack, power bar, right attack, etc.
** The highest of attack and defense modifiers are used when wielding 2 weapons. IE: If the offhand weapon has a 0% attack bonus, and the primary has 50%, 50% will be calculated for ''both'' weapons.
* Weapon animations for Dual Wield are 20% faster than other one handed styles.
 
* When wielding two weapons your attack bar fills up 20% faster.
* '''Other details:'''
* To hit check for off hand attacks use the lower of Dual Wield skill and the attack skill of required by the weapon.
