Quick question on one-handed weapon style

[TheMetaphysician]

Does the hit-to-crit conversion of one-handed weapon style apply when you have shield in the off hand, like it did in PoE 1? I know the 12-point accuracy boost doesn't apply (which isn't connected to the one-handed style ability choice), but does the ability itself?

I can't be 100% sure, but I just tested it and never saw the bonus for one-handed being applied when I had a shield equipped. I could have just gotten very unlucky I suppose, but I did see Dirty Fighting proc more than a few times while I had a shield equipped, and when it wasn't equipped I was seeing one-handed style proc a few times a fight.

 

I did have both one-handed style and weapon and shield style on that same character, so maybe one over writes the other?

Thanks for testing it! Unless you got unlucky, looks like it doesn't work with shield. I'll be interested if anyone sees anything different.

Single weapon bonus/style - only works when you have empty offhand;

 

Sword shield style - only works when you have shield in offhand.
