Whats a good dual wield build???

[The.Spaz.]

Got pretty close to beating the original version but fell off. Now that DAI has been wiped clean I find myself wanting more RPG. Seems like lot of things have changed since the original so I could use some advice on a good dual weild build.

I normally went for barbarian. they are pretty weak at first but later on advanced rage and crushing blows can be pretty handy. However, the fighter's adrenaline rush move seems like a good skill to have for a dex/str build.

Since unarmed is considered dual wielding, Monk is probably the best dual wield class.

If that's not appealing to you. Barbarian, Fighter, Cipher, Rogue and Paladin are the classes that have damage boosts or other advantages that work with dual wield. The Cipher ability Reaping Knives, is the best dual wield buff in the game (they can't use it on themselves), so if you're playing a dual wielder have a Cipher in the party.

dual sabres rouge (resolution + purgatory, or 2 purgatories if you run across a wax mold) was nerfed recently but still brutal.

rimecutter + we toki rouge comes in as a close second in terms of DPS.

starcaller + unforgiven or starcaller + goadshuntyr pretty good on barbarians due to carnage CC.

spelltounge + aattuuk is a nice set of CC and damage, also attacks really fast. barbarian rouge or monk.

Currently running a warrior as a dual wielder, very light armor, high dex, swords, noob berserk, noob backstabbing combined with sure strikeing ect. he delivers quite good damage havent gotten to max yet so cant say if he works out better than a rogue.

Man some of these perks I have never heard of. Anyway I got no interest in Rogue since I was forced to play that class in DAI for dual wield and I have already tried out a barb with high dex. I am down with playing a monk but I beleive his specialities are restricted to peasant weapons right?

You can use any weapon with Monk and still use his skills

peasant weapons are the most common on monk because both fists are peasant and hatchets are great on monks, bu you can use his talents with any weapon.

Monk is the best fun. He can do many things and is my best damage builder. Go moon godlike for the extra heal.

My character has 48 in interrupt and barely lets his opponent hit him and if I get surrounded I've hit force of anguish to kick them out of combat and prone for 10 seconds. It's awesome.

barbarians are pretty nice dual wielders because dueal wield with their abilities makes a double attack and for example 1 heart of the fury double attack ends a lot of mobs right there.

also they can stand in melee for a bit and not fall over, and 2 debuffing weapons with their carnage is pretty good too.



monks are really good too if you go just a bit tanky and rest in offense. They can use any weapons but their fists start to get really good early midgame. really high damage.


there are some tanky dual wield rogue builds too but i did not play one yet.

Well I fired up my old GOG version and after a bazillion updates I deceided to replay the game on path of the damned but no expertise or ironman mode. The additional hints help quite a bit figuring out what are core attributes for each class and I decided to go wtih my default barbarian DW merc. So far he is holding up nicely, took down a whole group of Xaurips and bandits by himself.
