Attack speed is increased when wielding a main-hand weapon in your offhand."

You gain the attack speed when you have that trait equipped when you have a axe,mace,dagger,or sword in your offhand. But it only applies to one handed weapons and the trait is not used when you have 2 handed weapons equipped.

Also, important to note, attack speed increases do not stack with one another.

Dual Wielding, Berserk Mode, and Quickness do not stack, only the highest boost is relevant.

my recommendation... never use that trait.

 

But it works like that when you wielding 2 of the same weapon (sword/sword, mace/mace, axe/axe. dagger,dagger) it gives you 20% attack speed.

It don't stack with quickness or any other attack speed boost it only takes the strongest effect and ignore the weakest and don't work with 2 handers. By that making it useless in comp pve content as you have quickness provider and is underwhelming in pvp and wvw and open world. If you are using arms you want damage and the other options is guaranteed crits and ferocity and condition damage when doing critical damage. (250 condition max which is Amazing if you hybrid which warrior really likes).

Makes the trait even more garbage.

Can't be a furious berserker hacking things in open world i guess.
