the answer won't help you much . the dual weapon skills have been removed since they were broken , and won't come back before Sigma , you can't proc from the offhand weapon , in other words a dual wielding melee build makes no sense these days.

Does anyone know how duel wield mechanic work? Do you just attack with one weapon and then after that hit you attack with the other? Looked up about it on some old D2 forum but didn't get much information.

It only swings main hand (left slot in inventory screen) when you're dual wielding. I think normal attack swings both, but only left hand will proc stuff. There should be a list somewhere of all affixes that work properly on offhand dual wield slot.

Does right hand weapon still give its stats ? Like CB/DS/UA ?

pierce, cb, ua, ds, leech, attributes, life/mana, flat dmg/ele dmg, spell damage.

I think gekko had a list at one point of all things that offhand enabled. maybe i'm thinking of someone else.

The only things that work from the off-hand weapon are:
* Skill bonuses
* Attribute bonuses
* + to Life/Mana/Maximum Stamina
* Maximum Life/Mana %
* Replenish Life
* Regenerate Mana %
* + to Life/Mana After Each (Demon) Kill
* % Damage Taken Goes to Mana
* Attacker Takes (Lightning) Damage
* % Extra Gold From Monsters
* % Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
* +% to Experience Gained
* Reduce All Vendor Prices %
* + to Light Radius
* % Increased Chance of Blocking
* % Faster Run/Walk /Hit Recovery/Block/Cast Rate
* + Defence (vs Melee/Missile)
* +% Enhanced Defence
* (Magic) Damage Reduced (by %)
* Resist +%
* +% to Maximum Resist
* + Absorb (%)
* Poison Length Reduced by %
* Half Freeze Duration
* Cannot be Frozen
* +% to Skill Damage
* -% to Enemy Resistance
So, pretty much nothing that has to do with applying damage works, except for elemental skill damage and -res.

Good evening, fellow slayers, I have an issue. I can't complete the trial of contrition. I don't get the portal buff when killing ancients in nightmare. I got azmodans heart and world stone key in hell, so I can make portals in hell just fine. But no luck for BRC challenge. How to resolve? Stormzon, no "only melee" at all.

are you on realm or single player? are you using launcher or d2se?

Probably a bug with the installation.
