📋 About This Mod

In vanilla game, Extra Attacks (EA) only benefit main hand, so Dual Wielding (DW) feels lackluster.

Other mods such as Better Dual Wielding tried to adress the issue. This is a different take on the matter.

If you like my work and would like to support me, it would mean a lot.

With this mod, the Dual Wield toggle will be disabled (see more at compatibility section).

Instead, you get 2 new DW attacks:

You also get two new passives along your martial EAs:

My game is in French, don't worry about it

They allow you to perform separate Extra Attacks from your Off-Hand (EAOH):

This is with One EA

The new Dual Wield attacks can consume an EA + EAOH:

This is with One EA

Anything is interchangeable, meaning you can focus or split your damage any way you want:

These are with Two EAs

The behavior is also "smart" as in, unless you open with an off-hand attack or a DW attack, the bonus action will be consumed last, meaning you can use it anytime for something else:

This is with Two EAs

There's also a visual resource for off-hand extra attacks, that is used by dual attacks too.

For this to show properly, you need ImprovedUI Assets 3. 15+ (when it's out)

Notes:

Beware, this is a lot stronger than vanilla. It is highly recommended you use difficulty increasing mods alongside this (even without this honestly).

These features all require to either have the Dual Wielder feat or the Two Weapon Fighting Style.

Compatibility:

Edits CombatStartAttack (unlikely to be modded), and removed dual wield flags Target_MainHandAttack and Projectile_MainHandAttack.

In case of conflict on these, you can let other mods win conflict but:

[]Without my edit to CombatStartAttack: you won't trigger off-hand extra attack on first trike from outside combat[/]

[*]Without my edit to Target_MainHandAttack and Projectile_MainHandAttack: you will have to
