Off-hand weapon doesn't hit

I kinda thought that offhand weapon only adds another attack for the mainhand weapon/round and the passive abilites from the offhand only get carried over...

BUT: My UAI assassin casted minute meteors, and had Crom Fayer in offhand. I was wondering why the hell is he swinging around like that in between throwing a meteor, then I noticed that it said attack roll for (Left) for the first time in my playthrough! He was hitting with his CF on the enemy from a safe distance, even procced the electric bonus damage!

So how the hell is the offhand weapon supposed to work? They should have a separate attack with all the bonus damages/stuns etc or not?

    Offhand weapons have separate attacks (I believe it's 1 APR but I'm not really sure) with all relevant modifiers and abilities of the offhand weapon.

    What you are describing is actually a well known bug where it is possible to trigger off hand melee attacks at a range after casting MM.

    yep as @BuurmanSven said, offhand is 1 apr as modified by two weapon fighting proficiency points. Currently, if you off hand a weapon that says it adds extra attacks, that attack grants an extra mainhand attack and you still only get 1 attack from offhand. And that is a bug the meteor thing you talk about.
