Open Wounds

"Caster has 100% chance of having their PRIMARY weapon's autoattack affect multiple targets they are facing..."Let's say you have a 50 dps 2h OR 2x 25dps dual wield. Does that mean a berserker will do a lot more damage with that ability while using a 2H weapon?

<DIV>hm, havent been dual wielding for some time, but i would say that the 2-Hander will be much better.</DIV> <DIV>The damage rating of your primary weapon should be the most important factor with open wounds.</DIV>

2H will always win with open wounds, since it does say primary.  If you are dual wielding, only the PRIMARY dw weapon will hit the other enemies (not both).

Easy answer guys, get a nice fabled 2H with a low delay. Mine has a 1.5 sec delay (well 1.2 actually with Haste adornment)
