1) It's simple DA+x% and stacks with other DA. In this case, 5/5 set bonus and 15% DA would yield an apparent 25% DA rate on your offhand.
2) It's a form of OAT and does not stack with DA traits/equip. In this case, 5/5 set bonus and 15% DA would yield a total 23.5% more hits on your offhand.

Not sure, if true...
Come on man, you could at least quote my entire post.

Doesn't cause triple attacks. The set bonus operates in one of two ways. Either:
1) It's simple DA+x% and stacks with other DA. In this case, 5/5 set bonus and 15% DA would yield an apparent 25% DA rate on your offhand.
2) It's a form of OAT and does not stack with DA traits/equip. In this case, 5/5 set bonus and 15% DA would yield a total 23.5% more hits on your offhand.
The sample size on the test to establish what the set bonus actually does was too small to establish which of the two is actually occurring.
Original testing is in the Final Magian/Empyrean Armor thread on BG.
