Quick correction; Hatchet is -25 speed, not -30 like the Horseman's Axe. But yeah don't use either of those lol. What dual-wield setups have been working best for you, and do you like alternating attacks or do you prefer swinging one weapon only?

I will mention with the shortsword arming sword set-up that if you start a combo with shortsword first doing a 1-2 1-2 swingset alternating between short and arming the animations come out much faster than with the combo you showcased.

I’ve been trying the alternate attacks with diff weapons and if you use falchion stiletto when u square up to some one do the first 2 stiletto swings hitting nothing but air then come in with the falchion 2 swings then back to stilletto and u do the 3rd swing which hit the dummy for 95. The combo ended up hitting a dummy for 100ish for the first 2 falchion swings then a quick 99 with the stiletto

Finally, a scientist among us slayers! I'm really surprised by those castillon numbers. Also, I used to be a falchion hater, but I might give it a chance with the shortsword combo. The only other things I'd be interested in seeing are stiletto and hand crossbow. Stiletto I don't think would be amazing but since it swings stupid fast it might be like the castillon with a lot of quick damage if you only swing it and not go for combos. Hand crossbow, on the other hand, I know can't really be talked about in the same way the other offhands can. It essentially just gives you the same dps that you calculated for swinging the main hands alone, but you can use it as a ranged poke, or my favorite as a disengage/dodge tool. The number of times someone thought they were going to hit me but got shot in the face, slowed, and juked is amazing. Then you can immediately follow up by stepping in behind their miss and getting a free hit in. If you're running WM on slayer, in my opinion, you ought to be running hand crossbow AND a windlass AND a bow you can swap to when you don't have time to reload the windlass. Let them try and close the distance, and they'll find out how many bolts you have ready

lolol thanks for watching man! And yeah one of my earliest Slayer Fighter videos was about how good I found the Hand Crossbow for certain pairings, for similar reasons that you did; there's a lot of utility in being able to get that "extra shot" off before starting a combo, or as someone is slipping out of melee range running away from you, etc. Will likely make an updated video on its viability in the current meta soon! Everyone always tells me to try the Windlass; that reload is killer, but if running Weapon Mastery I guess it's pretty worth. You also have more ranged options if you want to run something like the Recurve instead too.

it needs to be said, if you use an alternating attack starting with shortsword, the combo comes out significantly faster. its more noticeable with falchion, try testing out short sword to falchion instead of falchion first

Came down here to say this, always start a combo with right click. Personally the best combo I've found is short sword - arming sword - arming sword, it's fast and easy to land all 3 hits and the down time to reset the combo is minuscule.

this is the same with the rapier. the first 2 hits come out sooo fast when you do short sword then rapier. My go to combo is short sword, rapier, short sword is super fast and you can use the move speed to weave in and out out really well.@@lexdtv

@lexdtv I tried this last night. I agree. It feels great to go short sword falchion. I usually hate falchion over arming because of the slow swing but this combo feels great for a two swing duck in and out. Or short sword, falchion, short sword 3 hit combo. Both for pve and pvp

From my experience, you have to get so close with the short sword that it makes it harder to hit 100% damage on your falcion. Combo is really only worth with the arming sword in my opinion, or if you have someone off guard, Ill stab twice with the shortsword to start the fight and get my combo attack up.

Yeah I'm gonna be testing these combos a bit more, but as a lot of commenters are suggesting STARTING a combo with a Short Sword swing seems to increase DPS. But yeah to your point, the Short Sword does have shorter reach than most mainhand weapons; just gotta do some adjusting to see which ones are most similar and don't feel super awkward to dual wield attack with lol

Honestly flanged mace is pretty dank. Gives you at least a chance of chunking through some armor, and it swings insanely fast.

Arming sword or mace with short sword is my preferred kit. The dagger animation doesn’t allow you to swing your other hand unless you stop holding down rmb so imo doesn’t pair as well as mace and arming sword
@lexdtv

Yeah the dagger also swings so fast it's hard to alternate the attacks, though there is a time it combos nicely when hitting with the slower/further-reaching mainhand FIRST, then doing the full dagger combo. I can see that being doable in a fight. Glad you agree on the go-tos, that's what I been runnin as well but I'm gonna keep testing different things out

Does the crystal ball stats increase weapon damage?
@lexdtv
9 ай бұрын
It depends on the ROLL of the Crystal Ball, but similar to the Hatchet I'd only ever run that as an offhand to activate my perks on a Zero to Hero Slayer run lol; replace as soon as you find something better. I think it has a pretty massive movespeed debuff (-25) and I don't think the innate weapon damage on it makes a massive difference, I would probably just run Flanged for the armor pen (which will likely up your damage more than the crystal ball would)

If you have +weapon damage on ONE weapon for your dual wield setup, it'll apply to both; it is one of the best rolls you can have for Slayer fighter on your weps, so definitely try to get it on both lol
