Shuriken Offhand Question

Do offhands still work with shuriken? I recently got my shuri thrower up a bit and began thinking about offhands again and wanted to know if they don't work anymore either. I was trying out sting but I'm not really seeing any constitution damage and its recommended on shuribuilds.

Legendary Sting is recommend for the Vulkoor's Chosen set bonus, not the proc which doesn't affect your mainhand.
 
Oh that explains it. I did note that it did count towards the set bonus but I wasn't sure if that was the focus or just a bonus. Are the offhand procs no longer the focus anymore at this juncture then or are there items where offhands do affect the shuriken?

Offhand procs haven't ever really been a focus for shuriken. Celestia's Greater Sunburst and Echo of Sunsword's Brazing Brilliance can proc using a shuri, but the other effects of those weapons have no bearing on shuri attacks. Prior to the Vulkoor's Chosen set bonus revamp, it was common to have the old ToEE set bonus for 20 RP with a TOEE kama with armor piercing in the offhand.

Really? Huh. I must have really jacked up all those years ago buying stuff like kamas for the offhand. Well that sucks. Thank you for letting me know about it its appreciated.

If you read my posts you have already lost
also affirmation works in offhand if you cast any kind of spell (and that includes ED spells, so very easy on every build if u want to heal)

Wounding/Crit Wounding not works, not so sure about Legendary Virulent Poison. And, of course, this weapon not single mandatory choice for any build.

Of course it was really focus for Shuriken. All LGS effect like Affirmation, Ash, Ice etc, Alchemical proc effect (DoT specifically) from Alchemical/Dino weapon always is main focus for off-hand weapon, lol.

Fiery Detonation surely proc too.

It was usual because bugged AA imbues, and, of course, fully stacked +20 Quality MP/RP still very viable... at lvl... and AoE from Epic ToEE martial melee weapon still best damage output from all such AoE sources. 8)

those proc on the mainhand too if in offhand?

OP don’t forget good old tendon slice in offhand. Mobs will love you. Players love getting hit by it. I used to use Razorend since it had the legacy version and at 10%. Sure it is not dps but it keeps them away from you

Yea, they proc from off-hand (and i think we already have such conversation before, mmm? ;) ), i always use it on my shury-throwers at lvl7 and until lvl20. At lvl 20 change it to Alchemical crafted ssword/kama with more effects. At lvl26 it is Epic ToEE and LGS. At lvl 30 it's Legendary Alchemical crafted ssword/kama.
