Dual sword and single sword whirlwind in diablo 2 classic (non lod) do the same hits or having two weapons duplicates hits?

I tryed with two single hand swords and later with one of them (one hand, not dual hand), and I feel the hits and the killing speed is exactly the same.

Any help with this please?

Pretty sure ww is fixed at 4 frames in classic. So you would hit with one weapon, then 4 frames later hit with the other.

Classic WW is max frames for any weapon

Ias does not matter

Classic ww = S-tier

the question here is another: Dual sword and single sword whirlwind in diablo 2 classic (non lod) do the same hits or having two weapons duplicates hits?

So, having two one hand weapons will do double damage that having one one hand weapon with a shield?

No, two weapons will do the same as one. So use a 2 handed weapon.

Yes ar matters

Your best bet is a two-handed weapon with big Damage Big AR and base Leach

Some people also value base cold damage but it depends on you if you're trying to hork or not
