Off-hand attack

Off-hand attacks are a type of attack in the dagger attack sequence of the Assassin.

To be able to perform most off-hand attacks, a successful lead attack must first be made. Exceptions to this rule include Palm Strike, Repeating Strike, which can only be chained after other off-hand Attacks (including itself) and Moebius Strike which can only be used after a Dual Attack. Both Black Lotus Strike and Black Spider Strike are off-hand attacks that do not need a lead attack (they just need the target to be hexed), and Golden Phoenix Strike also does not require a lead attack (you just need to be enchanted). Falling Spider must strike a foe that is knocked down.

After hitting with an off-hand attack, the following icon will appear on the right of your target display, indicating a successful off-hand attack. If the attack misses, fails, or is interrupted, the icon does not appear.

For a list of all off-hand attack skills see off-hand attack skills quick reference or Category:Off-Hand Attacks.

If an off-hand Attack is used out of sequence, it will consume energy and miss, but will recharge instantly.
