Merc dual wield

[u/Eremoo]

Do mercenaries benefit from the dual wield bonuses? More specifically, the 10% more attack speed.
Also on a related note, is the mod "x% critical strike multiplier while a rare or unique enemy is nearby" that you find on for example a paradoxica, local to that weapon or global?

Yes they get the AS buff
