Dual Wield

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Job Trait Overview

  • Game Description: Allows user to equip two weapons at once.
  • Job Traits are always active.
  • Further Notes:
    • Despite the description, the trait itself does not allow users to equip two weapons at once, it merely reduces the combined delay.
      The ability to equip a weapon in the sub slot is an unnamed hidden trait gained at the same level as the Dual Wield trait.
      (Similar to how a job like RDM can equip a H2H weapon, but can only attack twice a round if a job (MNK, PUP, etc) with the unnamed hidden trait is used as a subjob.)

Effect Overview

  • Dual Wield enhancement effects, be it from traits or gear, require a weapon in both Main and Sub slot AND NIN10+ as either main or subjob.
  • Only one-handed weapons can be dual-wielded.
  • TP per hit is calculated using the reduced Delay.
    • When dual wielding weapons with different Delays, the average Delay (reduction included) is used for the TP calculations; both weapons will gain the same TP.
  • Only the Weapon Skills of the weapon currently equipped in the main hand are available for use. If you equip two different types of weapons, you do not have access to both Weapon Skill sets at once.
  • During non-elemental Weapon Skills, an extra hit is performed with the secondary weapon. This does not apply to elemental Weapon Skills (such as Shining Strike) or special Weapon Skills such as Spirits Within.
  • Weapon Skill Damage is based on the damage rating of the main hand weapon.
  • When dual wielding weapons of different types, it is possible to gain skill-ups in both weapon types.
