Second Weapon Question?

[Kolakhan]

I can now switch weapons and have put a second one in place. Do I get the benefits on the second weapon even though I am actually using the other one at the time?

i dont know if that is the case for every engraving but you get the boni of the engraving from the weapon you do not use too, at least for some engravings.

All bonuses (unless specified in the item's description that they don't) will stack, from the 3 weapons (2 melee, 1 bow), and any gear you are wearing, actively.

If they are active, then the bonuses add up. Some incredibly powerful effects don't stack, however, but they will say in the description. The one that comes immediately to mind is the one that reduces the cost for the Overpower attacks (R attack, by default) from usually 3 to just 1 bar consumed.

This is not true, you gain the benefit of your second weapon in most ways, only active powers (like flaming blade) do not work unless you're using that weapon. But innate and added engraving bonuses stack (unless they state otherwise), and abilities like Defensive Shield and Water Breathing are active even if you aren't actively using that weapon.

I forgot about the active flaming effects, but I always just assumed them only working on the one weapon with the ability was obvious that it wouldn't have a carryover effect. Thanks for clarifying though, I had completely forgotten about them.

Completely false information.

I'm using a spear as main and have a dagger to add elemental effect in heavy fights

I constantly wear as second weapon spear with -75% health +100% damage and its effect always works and visible.

It's the only one I've seen so far, or heard about. (The effect, not the actual weapon, because once you get the weapon you can engrave that effect on other weapons.) There are probably others, but so far just the one for me.

[cheetosbandit]

I use equip 2 daggers because one has a high percent of dagger damage stacks to my other

[cheetosbandit]

next time i play will switch to spear didn't think about it

i actually have an armor set from the helix store that adds 100% damage with warrior abilities. its the renegade set and my kassandra wears it all the time because theres no penalty with it. you just have to wear the entire set. and i always use warrior abilities.
