Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sepulchre" data-source="post: 9363887" data-attributes="member: 7033220">The interaction is a little strange, but nothing in the dual-wielding rules requires that you make two weapon attacks with your main hand.  And that’s hardly broken.All level 5+ warlocks count as having Extra Attack (by virtue of Extra Blast), so they can all make two off-hand attacks if they take the attack action and make a weapon attack (even just one) while wielding a dual-wielding weapon. Thirsting Blade doesn’t directly interact with this.  It just lets you attack twice with your Pact Weapon when you take the attack action.If your Pact Weapon is a double weapon, you can attack with it four times by using the Attack action and the Two-weapon Fighting bonus action.Note that the melee Eldritch Blasts are spell attacks, so if you only make Eldritch Blasts with your action, you cannot use Two-weapon Fighting.An exception is the Dread Knight with the Eldritch Maneuvers feature.  While using that feature to make a combat maneuver, Eldritch Scythe and Whip count as melee weapons.  That means that the conditions for Two-weapon Fighting are met, and the Warlock can use it with a dual-wielding weapon (or any one-handed weapon with the Dual Wielding Expert feat).One last note: all Warlocks can substitute Eldritch Scythe for a single melee weapon attack, so a Warlocks with Thirsting Blade can make one Pact Weapon attack and one Eldritch Scythe attack with the Attack action, qualifying them for Two-weapon Fighting that turn.I think the rules work together very nicely when they are put side by side, and a Blast n’ Slash Warlock is very thematic, especially for Dread Knight.</blockquote>
