Several times i have seen some 2weapon fighters attacking superfast only with mainhand. Is that a graphic bug, or another cheat thing?

It's a thing. Look for a way to reset your attack animation without actually perfoming another action/animation. When you find it, set up a macro to spam it.

Does it actually make you attack any faster or does it just produce a graphics bug?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

You, uh, do know that the twf animations are just for displays sake and that every hit has a chance to hit with both weapons, right?

Also works for other attacks to varying degrees. Doesn't work for dogs or thf very well.

I have actually heard that the animation both counts and doesn’t count.  I started messing with this during thth fights as it is stationary somewhat during the boss beating.  But I find it cumbersome to do while moving around.  However I never knew it’s actual effect on the offhand and if the animation had an effect or not to be honest.

Its impossible to tell from dev comments as I'm not even sure they know. Sometimes they talk like attack animation is everything. Logically, from a programming standpoint, it shouldn't mean anything, but who fucking knows?

One things for sure: not the devs.

Sucks when you have to actually test something for yourself rather than rely on what other people tell you, huh.

A'yup. Then again I guess this game wouldn't be as much fun if it didn't have such deep mechanics. Too many fuckin' MMOs these days are "action" RPGs...

*sigh*

gone are the days I could make an offhand comment about the uncertainty of something and being able to log back in later that day to discover Symbiont's OCD had kicked in and he utterly HAD to know the answer, then posted his research..... Sad

Rubbins has filled in nicely, providing his practical results of theory testing. Meat posted a three life review of a few meta builds he wanted to experience for himself.

Be the change.

Anybody know if it's possible to dump the combat log to a text file? I'd be willing to test more if I could actually make the combat log into something I can use.

Ask the Vault of Kundarik guys. Also I think Technomage knows where there's a program that can harvest the logs from client memory.

anyone willing to explain "twitch fighting"?
I get the general idea, but I did not know how to "chop" until this post :/

In general MMO parlance "twitch" combat means actual reactive combat. The simplest example is if you see a mob fire an arrow and you jump out of the way, the arrow will miss you. Asheron's Call was famous for its twitch physics which is one of the things that gave it really excellent staying-power. As compared to World of Warcraft, where arrows follow you around corners and pass through solid objects because the decision to hit you was made before it was fired.

Not really sure if that answers your question.
