Duelling

Duelling is a fighting style passive feature.

Description

When you are wielding a melee weapon that is not Two-Handed in one hand, and no weapon in the other, you deal an additional 2 damage with that weapon.

You can carry a shield in your free hand and still gain this bonus.

Notes

• This passive adds its damage to  Throw attacks with  Thrown weapons that hit while wielding a qualifying weapon with the melee weapon set selected. The Thrown weapon cannot be equipped prior to throwing it, unless it is dual wielded and in the main hand.
  • If the Thrown weapon is in the off-hand, it does not receive the bonus damage unless no ranged weapon is equipped.
  • The bonus damage is added even if the Thrown weapon is Two-Handed.
• Prior to Patch 8, the description implied that  Versatile weapons could not be used to gain the bonus damage.

Bugs

• A thrown duelling weapon will not receive any additional damage unless it possesses the  Thrown weapon property.
