Errr your almost right. Just as his statistics are not summed, neither are yours.T1m1 wrote:You dont get it man!!
i dont know how to get perfect words for you to understand!!
you have 16% for one,16% for second and 16% for third!!
and in dual you fave 52% for one of for!!!!
i dont defend dualwield, I use shield but thats the numbers!!
True: Each hit is an idvidual 16% so 3 chances of 16%. You can not simple multiply these together. Example : If the first hit hits, then do the other 2 not hit? By your definition they dont. So its better to say 3 x 16% and not 48%.
False: You do not have a 52% chance of something. The same way that the shield does not. You have 20% chance of one thing, 10% of something else and so on. If your Hew hits does your duel strike not hit?
It would be awsome if they game gave better discriptions. I assume that the final 360 degree hit was considered dominate and that if it hits the other % hits dont even calculate (assuming you cant do something like duel hit and hew on the same attack).
But the DPS read out does not factor in Hew and attacks like that. The DPS read out only gives you a damage that you do currently doing a normal attack. So duel wielding will always lower your DPS value (as long as the first weapon equiped is the weapon with the lower DPS). But with enough points into the duel hit tree the true DPS is much much higher.
Also DPS does not factor in hitting more then 1 monster at a time. If you by some fluke hit 2 monsters with every swing you just doubled your DPS value.
So in conclusion.
It really depends on how you want to play. A tank will want the shield for tanking reasons (resistance, block, health, etc mods). The duel wield will eventually (when getting close to maxxing out the tree) have a much greater DPS value. From what I have noticed is that the weapon you "swing" with is random and chooses between the too, and that an attack speed is the average between the 2 (this is not confermed and I am still testing).
Resalution.
If you really want to duel wield due to the higher DPS i recomend at lower levels (1-20) that you single hand and shield using the horn and I think its called war wind. At 20 you can respec to fill out the duel wield tech tree and having a much greater DPS.
