Snb damage should be less crazy now. Was an issue where it wasn't being mitigated properly.
Noooooo
ps, pls let me flag mods.
Is this still under consideration or is it intentional that S&B should set up this slowly? I realise they do not need 2 legs to DSB do total setup for that is much much lower than for current knight. Was more thinking along the lines for rift locks, vivisect soft locks.
edit: I'm love the whole dual flail part but I just think something more was there or it feels like it should be.
Snb is intended to prep that slowly, yeah. Would be too potent with the one leg dsb otherwise reallistically.
Expend will fire on the limb you specify, for instance:
DOUBLEWHIRL TECTON LEFT ARM EXPEND LEFT LEG would fire on the left arm hit.
DOUBLEWHIRL TECTON LEFT ARM LEFT LEG EXPEND would fire on the left leg hit.
There's quite a bit of versatility there, but not really opposed to adding some more things if it becomes necessary.
On Expend, I think he meant though that in the AB file it states that you can DOUBLEWHIRL <target> <limb1> [EXPEND] <limb2> [EXPEND], which infers that if you target two different limbs you should get the expend effect on both.
With Doublewhirl peaking at around 3s from what I saw it will probably be a bit too slow to work with Vivisect because there are no venom options, unless you can delay their salve balance enough through head breaks or mangles.
Edit: Oh and if Assault could be used on arms or legs too....gods that would be sexy but should probably come with a much higher Momentum cost than doing it to head or torso or you will end up with ridiculous perma-mangles.
Been testing on Halios and even with head and leg prepped, broke head and expended on the leg, proning him followed into an assault on the head giving him a level three he just walked away as if it was nothing. Without the ability to cause more damage to other limbs besides just head and torso seems to be a slight issue.
Then it seems to be you have to litterally take the full brunt of all the damage as well with no real way to hinder as compared to using venoms to slow the assault of other classes, besides doing some good damage but others seem to highly outshine it in other forms of the specs.
Just curious as to why there is also Arc in the skillset when I have to use a bladed weapon for it to be used?
just my .02
You can prep limbs with expend on head for hinder (it stuns).
You'll want to use assault as your finisher. Dual blunt is pretty much the opposite of snb; you prep limbs much faster, so are expected to need to break more to secure a kill. If you did, say, break arm/leg expend to prone, break other leg, hit that leg again for momentum (this also does significantly more damage because you're hitting an already broken limb) then assault head, you'd likely have better results.

15 strength dualblunt.
Was a decent pause between getting balance back from the 2nd break and the actual assault to give some time for regen. Vs a Sylvan with 4600 health / 65 blunt chainmail.
Assault was doing just shy of 2500 damage alone.

Artefact weapons:
Will the dual wielding specs requiring double the credit investment see,
A ) Lowered prices in artefact weapons
B ) Be deliberately more potent than the single wielding specs
C ) With the new exclusivity of weapons and their effectiveness with abilities sell Scimitars and Flails - whatever will be dual wielded - in pairs at their current sticker price.
I'd recommend option C, but only if henceforth level 3 artefacts will ALWAYS be better than forged goods. Eliminating the option that you can pair a lv3 artefact with a wildcard amazing forged sword and have a dud lv3 in inventory.
It might even be worth coding an exception for artefact weapons as 'a pair of Scimitar of Eagles in your hands' single item, rather than left/right. Then figure out a way to deal with customs.
@Tecton, given the shift in purpose I'm sure it goes without saying, but I assume forging values for scims are going to change to resemble their artefact counterparts?

Why would you need a full value trade-in on your current weapons?
You purchased your current weapon sets for the dual cutting class, which you can still play. If you currently have soulpiercers/broadswords as your two sets, then having a scimitar and battleaxe set is the equivalent of what you have now.
You didn't lose anything. All you have to do is convert your current weapons into scimitars and battleaxes. If you had more than two sets, you'd have a valid complaint, but it seems to me that you previously bought two sets for soulpiercers and broadswords, which directly translates to the 'new' scimitars and battleaxes.
Basically, I don't need a full refund, but I also don't see why they don't allow people to trade-in at full value instead of offering a switch.

That's with 17str, against @Kardal the Professional Troll.
Get this -- after the 4th dsb, he still had 4011 health. (Has a max of 9471)
Totally going Infernal. Screw this. Heh!
