Question about Dual Wep Barbs.

Ok, question. I'm remaking my nm barb VanWolfHowl. My new barb, Vedek, is an Axe barb. He shall be using an Eth Death Cleaver and Probably an Ebotd Zerk when dual wielding. Now, the dc has a 66% chance of deadly strike mod on it. Will this mod only work during a ww if the eth dc hits, or will it kick in if the Ebotd Zerk hits as well.

Im not 100% sure but i think the deadly strike only applies to the dc... correct me if im wrong, cuz i want to be wrong on this.

ur wrong, seriously. ive tested it wiv open wounds and dual wielding, still got open wounds, why wud it not work with deadly strike if it works with open wounds AND crushing blow? (tested this too)

Yes but when u ww, u have 2 seperate weapons, that hit seperately also... Thats why i think the ds only applies to dc. Anyways, im not gonna argue as i hope i am wrong we'll just see when sov's char is ready.

It only applies to the DC.

It only applies to the DC.

.... what? Yes so with highlord you can only get the deadly strike if you hit with your ammy, THOW YOUR AMMY AT THEM!

OMFG!!1111 J00 R RIGHT!!!111 THEN TEH 400% ED FROM THE EBOTD SHOULD AFFECT TEH DC 2!!!11111ONE

LEEEET JOOO OMG!!! THEN BEAST FANTA'S AURA ONLY WORK ON THE BEAST WEAPON!! OMG.

Note the obvious sarcasm. 90% of magical modifiers on weapons modify THAT WEAPON, and that weapon alone.

Example: You have a weapon that deals poison damage, and a weapon that deals cold damage. Both are not applied to both weapons, your barbarian swings his weapons independently. Try it sometime, using a standard attack.

Exceptions are made when the effect does NOT have an offensive/defensive ability (like the +30 all stats from BOTD). Enchantments on jewelry and charms affect the WHOLE, not just itself. -.-

The 66% ds on dc only applies to dc, and instead of dc+ebotd zerk use beast zerk + ebotd, I personally use 411ed ebotd zerker + a beast zerker and it is much more effective damage wise and the AR,Cb,Ow, and the lvl 9 fanaticism is a gd boost. And with highlords and gores+ cs from a barb you'll have around 60ish ds which is good enough, and without gores you'l have around 50ish ds which is good enough as well.
