Guild Wars 2

Does the bonus in attack speed from the dual wielding trait (20%) stack accumulatively with quickness (50%) to get you 70% with both on?

Or does the higher bonus from quickness simply overlap the dual wielding bonus and you only get 50% bonus from the quickness?

Thanks.

I think it overlaps but not 100% sure

Quickness overrides what is in dual wielding. With quickness you attack at 50% and you gain no value from dual wielding.

So it’s a worthless trait

Its not worthless… its presumes you don’t have quickness uptime. HoT and Raid meta was a massive power bump due to how Chorno and Druid affect Team comps. Prior to that, quickness wasn’t considered useful as you could rarely get more then 6 seconds and rarely more then 20% uptime (in ideal conditions). Those traits were much better spent on sustainable sources of damage increase. Oh yeah… there was no team comp before Raids…. only DPS builds and Not-DPS builds

dont run it if ur using berserker. u overwrite ur 15% from berserker, or at least im pretty sure. and the quickness from berserker will overrite it as well.

It technically gives you 20% more damage, but that damage only applies when ur doing skills like AA 24/7. plenty of skills are unaffected by attack speed still, and the movement delays you experience incombat makes it really a pve/vanilla only thing….useful for stuff like vanilla axe and vanilla mace mbe, and thats it.

Its very comparable to berserker strength now from strength line. used to be a meager 15% attack speed increase if i remember (completely uselesss when using berserker heh).

i was also told that only the highest attack speed applies, so it all overwrites.
