BUG: Crushing Blow & Dual Claws

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but Crushing Blow from Dual Claws is bugged - only 1 claw is used for the CB calc.

i.e.
Equipping two "Strength" runeword claws only nets you 25% CB, not the expectd 50%. :scratchchin:

i.e.
Equipping "Strength" along with another claw socketed with Ber, will only use the CB from th last one equipped.

Let the Claw/Claw vs Weapon/Shield debates continue... :whistling:

Re: BUG: Crushing Blow & Dual Claws

I don't think it's a bug.

I think that many/most of the mods on the weapon that doesn't hit are ignored, and I think that's intentional. For example, dual-wielding barbs do the same thing by ignoring many/most of their non-attacking weapon's mods too.

Also, the Arreat Summit (here) implies that certain skills only focus on one claw, even when dual-wielding. Pertinent quote:

"You can use any one or two-handed weapon with Tiger Strike, Cobra Strike, Phoenix Strike which means you can combine those skills with a Shield and a good one-handed weapon if you choose. They do not use two weapons at once, however, only the damage of the first weapon is used."


... so I think it actually works as intended.

Maybe. :wink:

It's not a bug, it's intended. When dual-wielding (this counts for the barb too), only on-weapon mods (most of them anyway) for the weapon that is swinging count.

Let's keep in mind that DS and OW work the same way when dual wielding.
