Best weapon combo for dual-wield?

[CroMagnus]

Playing a strength based fighter with the dual-wield feat and was planning to go dual Long swords +1 at level 4, but right now I am leaning towards using the Short Sword from the Underdark (+1d8 damage on enemies with full health) as MH and the Gnoll Flail as an OH. Thoughts?

Depends on what you're trying to do. Xyanide can give you Faerie Fire on a target so you hit more consistently, so you could try that plus short sword of first blood. Or you could disarm two bugbears and take their morningstars to deal 2d8x2 per round.

Best are probably the 2d8 morningstars you get from disarming the Bugbears with the BM Disarming Attack. Other than that, Flind's mace is 1d6 + 2 (Avg. 5.5) which is the same average damage as a Longsword+1 (1d8 + 1 Avg. 5.5), but you also get self healing, so it's actually one of the best dual wield candidates in EA right now. Should probably be main hand though. Other than that it's pretty hard to beat the math on just a straight +1 Shortsword or Mace, even if the Underdark one can situationally deal more damage.

Yes, it is best. Dont worry.

You want those in Patch 5:

Instantly checked all mobs for disarming and was happy to find it right at the next day after patch 5 was released. I chose Laezel for disarming instead the other Fighter skills and im so happy i did.
But i didnt plan on making a Dual-Wielder this playthrough.
I read that its still broken in Patch 5. Before PAtch 5 it was working but not perfect.
I could exploit damage by just swithcing weapons around and had several extra effects by switching around finesse weapons with magic fire effect f.e.

The bugbear morningstars need to be fixed. A warrior with shield and Duelling, is extremly strong and do insane damages....
