As the topic says - when Dual Wielding, firebrand seems to still attack with only one weapon at that level of speed. I’m not sure if this is intentional but it turns what might be a really excellent skill for dual wielding Spellblades into something that is barely sufficient. Even highly leveled it’s outstripped by mana strike with minimal point invesments.
That’s just the animation, there’s only 1 animation for all weapons (DW swords uses the same animation as 1 sword as a polearm).
The way dual wielding works is that the weapons attack speed implicits are averaged & all other affixes are added together. So if you have attack speed prefixes on both weapons you’ll attack faster with Firebrand than if you don’t. Firebrand is supposed to be a buff skill for other melee attacks.
It’s possible - but it seems to have a much slower attack rate than my other unbuffed skills, and still even at high stacks doesn’t feel like it’s making a huge impact unless I take the points in consuming firebrand stacks to empower my attacks.
It’s possible the feel of it is wrong, but I can’t help wondering if it shouldn’t be buffed in some way.
