Dual Wield + Specific Weapon Skills?

[bagsforu 0]

Ok guys, first post, go easy. I'm very new to the game but messing around with a few dual wield set ups. I keep finding builds that call for Dual Wield but no Sword/Hafted, etc skills. I would assume that Dual Wielding with Sword Weapons would give me an added boost, but no one seems to be bothering. Does Dual Wield cancel any possible benefits of a specific weapon bonus, or is it a just a waste to use both? Thanks

Hi bagsforu welcome to DarkMatters!

 

You should check this build out here which brought a lot of attention to DW and Sword Lore on one build.

 

The Queen of Blades

 

Antitrust's build is EXTREMELY powerful, and will bellweather the nerfs from the addon.
