He have like X5 hp and 40% avoid damage and you need to kill Visions to hurt him at all

shield for block since claw block doesn't work anymore, unless you're using offhand for something that gives a lot of sustain or dmg (pierce, leech, flat dmg, whatever else)

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.

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.

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 ?
