    Ok so here's what i'm doing.

    I put one sword in the left mouse button, a fire element sword, and then any weapon on the right mouse button.

    What happens is sorta strange, i think i'm getting some where blue fire/electro ball sword whenever i press the right mouse button.

    Here we see the left click using the fire sword.

    The current combination is a rickety prodder fire element (left click) and the holy alien blade fire element (right click). But i mean you could put a GUN on the right button and still have this happen.

    It's not a bug(?). They've added secondary attacks to some weapons.

    I looked up this particular effect and i didn't see it mentioned before. Other's have posted similar things but i figured posting another type of instance would be beneficial to those concerned.

    Where do you see that? You mean the effects some weapons can have? Yeah i'm mentioning a THIRD EFFECT caused by using the right mouse button. I could have a GUN in that slot and it'd still be an electric sword shooting a ball, it won't even fire a gun.

    This only happen with 2H Weapons, i also have a Poison/Fire sword, and i dont think that this is intentional honestly, because the weapon have a single element, so whats the point on showing the Poison icon in the Weapon stats, if the weapon also have fire?, so this is not intentional, it is a bug

    The sword you're using is Two-Handed so you can't use the gun as a secondary unless you switch to it using the z-button.
    And what you're describing as a third attack is a part of the second attack (The ball that shoots out right?).

    that's just your basic uncommon 2hand sword of fire and lightning

    There are many two hand weapons doing this. If the two handed weapon is supposed to have two different effects (such as fire and lightning) they should have two elemental symbols in their description. Or they should only have one element. So either way, needs fixing.

    Most two-handed uncommon-quality weapons have an alternate element on the right-click swing. Lightning-element weapons always produce the ball-lightning projectile when swung; that's just what lightning-element weapons do. The Fire/Poison combo is actually quite useful in the early-game since you can stack both DOTs on the same enemy - and poisoning an enemy multiple times increases the severity of the poison.

    There's no way you could have a ranged weapon equipped at the same time as this sword since it's two-handed. The reason why your gun or alternate weapon isn't firing is because if you have a two-handed weapon in one of your hand slots, it overrides the other weapon. That's why it's grayed out.

    I will agree that these weapons could stand to have two elemental symbols to indicate their alternate element.
