Having a strang thing happen with my league starter. Playing double strike berserker. When I change zones, my dps basically gets cut in half (tooltip). But if I swap my weapons around, it goes back to normal damage.

Has anyone seen this? I cant figure out why it's happening.

I'm working on a fix for this. In the meantime, this only happens when both weapons are one-handed swords, so can be bypassed by using a different weapon type.

Rapiers/Thrusting Swords are a different weapon type internally, so will work for this purpose while still working with all the same skills and sword bonuses. Until we can get a fix in, this is the simplest way to avoid needing to force an update by changing a weapon, each time you enter an instance.

What's happening specifically is that if you're dual wielding two one-handed swords, the calculation that works out you're dual wielding isn't occuring initially, so you aren't getting any dual-wielding specific bonuses until you force it to check again.
