CMAN Dual Strike
Mnemonic: dstrike
Hostile: yes
Stamina Cost: Stamina Cost: Base 8. Additional stamina costs are determined by the Base Weapon Speed of your attack. For weapons with a base speed of 5 or less, a stamina penalty of +2 per second of base speed is applied. For weapons with a base speed greater than 5, an escalating penalty of an additional +1 stamina per second over 5 seconds is applied. This additional +1 stamina penalty is applied on top of whatever the previous second's stamina penalty is. An effective Base Weapon Speed is calculated by taking the primary weapon's base speed, adding half the secondary weapon's base speed (rounded up), and adding 1 to the result. The minimum stamina cost is 8 and the maximum is 25.
Requirements: 50 ranks in TWC, a weapon in both hands
Available: Rogues
Prerequisites: Rank 3 in Weapon Specialization in the weapons being used (both if using two different weapon types)
CMP Costs:
Rank 1 - 5
Rank 2 - 10
Description: Instead of making two seperate attacks a rogue is able to strike with both weapons in a single attack. A percentage of the off-hand weapon's DF is added to the main weapon's DF using the formula below. With only 1 rank the rogue will suffer a -20 AS penalty when using this maneuver, with 2 ranks there is no AS penalty. This skill works in unison with the Silent Strike CMAN.

formula missing! I know, if anyone was actually looking for it...

The percentage of DF added from the off-hand weapon is based on if the target is an equal level foe, and if fully trained in TWC for that level (2x per level)

80 - (rogue's level - target's level, minimum 0) - (target's level - [TWC RANKS/2], minimum 0) + weapon speed factor = %

weapon speed factor = 10 - base speed
