Is Two Weapon Fighting Bugged?

[yuzhonglu]

Does it work? Thank you.

[Moffin Bovin]

yep.

[Agony_Aunt]

Seems to be working for me. Check your combat log to see you are getting your ability bonus added to damage.

Or is it a different issue you're seeing?

[Rabidnid]

They can only dual wield weapons they are proficient in.

[Ashe]

Works for me. It's just a pain in the ass ticking and unticking the passive when the roll becomes sub 40%.

Edit : mb thought great weapon.

Two weapon is fine too. Very good too. Jlsame issue though since they'll default to using that bonus action on a swing.

Working for me double crit the beholder in the underdark fight was over on turn 1 using two spears including the one for more damage with more eyes.

The problem that I'm having/not understanding is Two-Weapon Fighting Style is supposed to add your modifier to the off-hand and it doesn't seem like it is. Maybe it is in the background, but it doesn't show up when I mouse-over and view my offhand weapon, which is strange. If i'm DW rapiers, shortsword/rapier, vice-versa, any finesse weapon really, it only shows the modifier on the main hand weapon but not the off-hand weapon. Can anyone explain?

Edit: to be more specific, i see in the logs that it's adding it to the attack roll but it specifically states that TWF style adds your modifier to the damage roll. That's why I'm confused.

I'm having the exact same issue on my TWF Swords Bard using Hard Crossbows. It was working at one point, I think?

Can anyone retest this, I also don't get any damage and that sucks

What's the issue?

Action main hand, bonus action for off-hand. You need the fighting style to add your modifier into the off-hand which fighters, paladins and rangers can get, and the weapons have to have the light property (meaning they're properly balanced so you can wield them in your main hand and off hand without issue) unless you get the feat at level 4, 8 or 12 that lets you use any one-handed weapon.

If you are struggling with dual-wielding, look to see if the weapons have the light feature, if you are proficient with the weapons or you have the stats to make it work.

Dual wielding admittedly generally isn't worth it unless you build for it.

How dual wielding works is you can make attacks with your offhand weapon as 'bonus' actions. However there are a few stipulations:

You can only dual wield weapons with the Light property (unless you have the Dual Wielder feat)
Off-hand weapons do not get ability bonus to damage, (Unless you use hand crossbows or have the two weapon combat style).

So there are ways to make it work but you do need to keep the above in mind. A few notes:
Thief subclass (rogue 3) gives an extra bonus action. This can be used to make one more off-hand attack.
Fighter 1 and Ranger 2 get a combat style which can be used for two weapon combat.

Hope this helps!

Paladins also can get it.

with the hotfix 8 it works most of the time. i have yet to download hotfix 9 from gog... so maybe last patch ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up again. Wouldn't be the first time gonna download it now and see...

[Theinvoker]

it works.
it's just bad

Second weapon used just once and using a bonus action

1d8 (at best, it may be 1d6 or 1d4) + 1d8 + 1d8 = 3d8 + bonus = 3-24
with 2h weapon it's 1d12 + 1d12 = 2d12 = 2-24 and you still have a bonus action
