Guild Wars 2

The patch has updated this trait to read “Dual Wielding: Increased attack speed bonus from 15% to 20%. Updated description for clarity. This trait gives an attack speed bonus when a main-hand weapon is wielded in the off-hand slot.”

I am confused on what this means by putting a main hand weapon in the off hand slot. I dual wield axes, the tool tip on both axes reads “either hand”. What is considered a Main-hand weapon? I went to the weapon vendor, and i see off hand (like warhorn), either hand and two handed, but not one weapon actually says main hand.

If I am already receiving this 20% attack speed bonus with my 2 axes, wouldn’t i see a passive buff as i do with my passive signets? If that is the case then I am not receiving the 20% buff with 2 axes equipped and do not know how to get it.

I was never confused by the description before the patch so I don’t know why they changed it but all they are saying is it can’t be a torch, shield, or warhorn which are considered off-hand weapons.

Main hand is just any weapon which can be equipped in your main hand, so axe, sword, and mace currently.

There will be no buff that shows up that you are getting 20% attack speed, the trait is passive and will not show anywhere. If you want to see the difference in speed just go auto attack something with the trait on and off.

TY Grack.
