We were fooling around with dual wielding a little and...something feels different, off ...at 8/6 in all DW skills it is only 12% chance and it really goes off...seldom.
Was it nerfed?
As far as I can remember back in the day when running a harbinger the DW skill was going off almost all of the time...
or is it my memory that is playing tricks on me? but something is really off now with dual wielding...

You can point out that she was already on the leaderboard anyway with your other toon's name. So she's now there twice.

Good point you've got there Medea
Btw guys, for this xmax challenge - how would you rate S&B Conquerer vs DW Spellbreaker vs DW Harbinger for this challenge
@botebote77

Some other ideas regarding this challenge, basic and general toughts only - I would appreciate your feedback guys...:
1.
DW Ice Shards Thane,
2 x Persephone caress
; with a little CDR (50%) for Horn and Standard
2.
DoT EB Prophet,
Soulflay Fork
What would be survivability, gear dependency, general pros and cons...
I ask in context of AER.

Re dual wielding both the IT and AE versions of the calculator show 22% chance at max so either it's going off more than you think or there's been some change to it lately.

We've made some long term eq choices:
Odysseus Armour, Huo Qubing helm
and
Talisman of the Jade Emperor
...ehh at clvl 55
So between clvl 44 and 55 it's gonna be only -35% recharge...but at clvl 55...whooping 60%
And it is going to be str - based toon.
But -60% recharge and str as main stat also invites inevitably Dream
Phantom Strike every 6.5 sec...good CC alternating between Petrification and 1-point-horn...Nightmare to distract 3 x Bosses to tae them 1 on 1...
So far so good...

I'm a day later than I planned but life happens! Anyways I have joined the challenge!
Fisch - Durzo - Lv10 Battlemage AE - Spartan Highlands
So far untwinked but I expect that to change down the line. I've been pretty lucky with drops so far and I have managed to get a
Stone Hammer
,
Outriders Buckler
and,
Labyrinthine Bracers
.
I originally planned to stick with Warrior until the class was maxed out and drop a single point into each skill I planned on using on the way up but I changed my mind and immediately grabbed Earth and dropped a point into
Earth Enchantment
and
Ring of Flame
. So far I don't regret that decision
Oddly enough Nessus - Centuar Chieftain didn't spawn at all upon my first arrival so I decided to reload and beeline my way back over for the fight which fixed the issue. Lured them out one at a time and had no problem at all. Just made sure to use health pots and drop
Battle Standard
at the beginning of the fight.
I'm not sure how to post the images exactly... so here are some imgur links...

Welcome to the challenge Fisch.
Yes, sometimes the bosses don't spawn and you have to restart. I've had it with Nessus and also the Arachnes in the Olive Grove. Known bug with the mod and just something we have to live with.
For imgur when you've uploaded your images (choose the size either 640x480 or 800x600 in the auto resize first before uploading) click on an image and then copy the message boards and forums link then paste it here. The image should then be visible. Use the preview button here to check before final posting.
And nice haul of early goodies you've got there.

Just be careful of the cave in the Phocian Swamp. There was a new quite difficult hyena boss in there originally. Haven't seen him since I installed the expansion, but only run a couple of toons that far recently so may still randomly spawn. Fire breathing p in the a he is too!

OK - thx
If u happen to have any other useful / important tips like this please share...
we almost died the other day to some funny AoE spell I saw for the first time -
it was like a huge red cloud of blood that would quickly collapse making us lose approx. 70% of HP
it was cast by one of the harpies...a harpy boss.
Btw, I just found my old Conquerer in the all yellow challenge
I might be picking him up as he is Act 1 Epic, the very beginning.
So, we decided to run some DW toon instead but atm playing a single mastery as Zuzia cannot decide on the 2nd one - she likes phantom strike a lot but she also loves the spirit mastery logo a lot
Tbh, Conquerer is darn strong but also a little boring and now the big word for us is
fun

Jacko & Zuzia - Jacek - L25 Warrior AER (TWINKED) - Village of Sais
so there we are, our first favourite levelling spot - the crocodiles quest and nearby ruins with the undead. a few quick runs netted us 3 levels
this run is also good for malee toons as the crocodiles drop real nice green equipment. the only thing is not to turn the quest in...so that the crocodiles do not disappear.
Now I am sure in AER the monsters stats were buffed...

Jacko yes the monsters got buffed in AER.. it's very noticeable in my previous toons.. I'm lvl 68/69 and I'm battling lvl 80/81 mobs.. it's because i didn't go through act 5 normal and epic.. my sorcerer is 71 fighting lvl 85 mobs.. they hit harder now and i think resistance reduction got more important

Jacko & Zuzia - Jacek - L27 Warrior AER (TWINKED) - Village of Sais
We were farming a little for equipment, hence the two levels
Btw, we reached a consensus - we will carry on with all yellow Conquerer in the yellow challenge as I recovered the saveame files
And now we will go with a DW toon...yet to determine 2nd mastery.
I could really use some of you insigts regarding DW spellbreaker vs DW harbinger vs DW whatever...We do not want to end uptossing a coin
