Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Enhanced Edition Dual wield wand + 1 handed weapon

I love that you put in dual wield to the game but what i miss to dual wield is wand + 1 handed weapon for my hybrid build. Really hope you make this work in a patch or that someone make a mod for it.

Also dual wield wands works with wands ability but dual wield 1 handed weapons dont work with 1 handed ability.
Is this ment to be or is it a bug?

Great question @dannerman

I assume it's necessary to level up Dual Wielding, Single-handed, and Wand with that build? Doesn't seem to leave many points available for other abilities.

I make the point in that I was originally guessing that for any duel-wield build you would need to level up Duel Wielding with Single-handed for viable effectiveness. I'm hoping THAT at least is not a broken game mechanic.

the build would only go for dual wield ability but to be flexible to switch out gear when needed and ofc for the cool factor :D.

Dual wielding axes is already pretty powerful. It's more (average) damage than 2handed axes at the same level over skill 2 ranks. If one-handed weapons skill buffed the damage further it would actually be pretty overpowered. Whether that's intentional or not I don't really know, since dual-wielded wands actually do benefit from the wands skill (but they suck anyway).
