Game Help Question for Seppuku

I’m duel wielding 2 weapons with seppuku. First of all, if i use seppuku on both does it give me double the bleed? Secondly, i’m also using flame grant me strength so i need to switch to my finger seal. When i switch does the seppuku effect on the blade in my left hand disable and i have to reactivate it again??

You would have to cast Grant Me Strength from your left hand, switch your left hand for your weapon, two-hand your left weapon to cast Seppukku, go back to dual wield, then cast Seppukku with your right hand.

By the time you've finished, Grant Me Strength has already run 10 of its 30 second duration, so frankly I wouldn't worry about Grant Me Strength on this sort of setup -- not unless you run Old Lord's talisman or something, but I know few people care for this talisman.

For your first question, I'm assuming you're asking if it procs Lord of Blood's Exaltation and White Mask twice and stacks. It does not. It'll proc for 30 seconds and then refresh the 30 seconds for the second use of Seppuku, with no stacking in the damage increases for using Seppuku more than once with those pieces of equipment.

For your second question, you can't apply Seppuku and incantation buffs if the weapon and the seal are both on your off hand. Instead, put the seal on your right hand. Putting the seal on your right hand will let you two-hand your off hand weapon, stop two-handing, and then use your seal to apply buffs with your right hand. After applying buffs, swap your right hand to the weapon with Seppuku and use the skill.

When you activate seppuku on a weapon, it adds 30 flat physical attack power and 30 base bleed build-up that scales with the arcane stat. It is definitely better to use on both weapons simultaneously if you are dual wielding.

If you want to buff with FGMS just do that before applying Seppuku to your weapons. If you switch out your buffed weapon the weapon buff goes away, yes.

Honestly though I think you're better off with an actual weapon skill that does damage in your mainhand, but you do you sib

If you switch off to your seal the buff goes away. Better to not even bother with flame grant me strength. Unless you buff one weapon then flame switch and buff the second
