DethlaHadyn Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Why the hell do we have two sabres if the offhand always misses? Seriously...it's like, what's the fukking point. They need to include the offhand's generic accuracy pool the same as the mainhand's. Right now it's outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ld-Siris Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Because 2 sabers are bad ***. But really the dmg and accuracy is to provide a small buff in dmg. Think about the sniper vs gs and the merc vs the commando. Both the sniper rifle and assault cannon have the highest base dmg of all the weapons in the game. To buff the mirror classes they dual wield. Both pistols and light sabers are the weakest weapons in the game. That little add bonus is to off set the difference. Now as for off hand misses. The only time the offhand accuracy will even come into play is when you spam the base attack like assault. All your main abilities count as a main hand attack but take both main hand and off hand damage values into account when calculating damage. That's why the ability says hits with both while dual wielding. Edited March 26, 2015 by Ld-Siris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't even have assault on my toolbar, so when I see these constant "miss" messages appear, I'll now know its all pre-programmed system spam, that in effect really means nothing. For the combined damage attacks from "both" sabres would in actuality represent lower individual numbers, where-as a far larger "main hand" attack coupled with an offhand "miss" would in some way even out to be the same. Idk, just seems dumb to me is all. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PallyHk Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yeah offhands definately need some love. They are doing like 10% damage or less of the mainhand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
