[392] No Recovery when using a weapon-based ability in two-weapon fighting

[Sensuki]

 

In this video, I demonstrate the use of a Rogue weapon-based attack with single weapon style, then reload the game and demonstrate two-weapon style. When using two-weapon style, the ability attack does not trigger recovery and the off-hand attack is instant after the animation.

 

Expected Result: Weapon-based ability attack should trigger recovery when used in two-weapon fighting style.

Hello Sensuki,

 

Thank you for your posting and clear video. This is actually working as intended. Many abilities in the game have "Full Attack" listed in their description. When Full Attack is shown, this means that it will be executed using the character's weapons as a base for the effect. In the case of Dual Wielding, Full Attack also means that the ability will make an attack with the off hand and the main hand simultaneously.

 

In the video above your rogue uses Blinding Strike. Since you are wielding two daggers and Blinding Strike is a Full Attack ability, your rogue makes both a Main Hand and an Off Hand attack. Both hits have the effects of Blinding Strike, but only the longer duration Blind effect will apply, the shorter duration effect will be suppressed.

 

Hope this helps to clear things up.

 

Thanks for your support!

Oh okay, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.
