I am putting together a gear calculator (for pve, there are some excellent pvp ones out there) that is quite a bit more friendly than the ones I have found, it will Include any combination of stats on gear that I can find, and will work by dropdown menus on the main page instead of having to find the gear you want on seperate pages and put a 1 in a box.

Im setting it up to display as much detail as I can because I am a min/max guy (all the way down to how much my bleed does per stack), however I am running into an issue with the main character stat ‘attack’ for dual wielding.

Per the wiki and ingame testing,
Attack = Power + Weapon Maximum Damage,
however for dual wielding this doesnt hold true, and it doesnt just ignore the weapon damage of the offhand item either (say sword/warhorn combination)

Either my google skills are very poor, or I am a bit slower than I ought to be, can anyone help me find the equation for dual wielding?
