I am currently using the value 400 in my calculator for what the Dual Wield Wiki Page calls "MaxSkill". I am using this value for all classes, unless someone can prove there are different values per class, as the dual wield page suggests.

According to the EQEMU code for Double Attack and Dual Wield:

1. Double Attack Chance = (Skill Level + Player Level) / 500.
2. Dual Wield Chance = (Skill Level + Player Level) / 400. [NOTE: in the EQEMU they use 375, but 400 seems closer as the wiki suggests, and it would be easy for P99 to adjust that magic number].

In the EQEMU code there aren't any special exceptions based on class that are not related to AAs. P99 could have added class specific exceptions, but I haven't seen any evidence for this yet.

When looking at my level 52 Monk Corudoth Parse while dual wielding:

1. 305 Offhand Crush Attempts [28 Delay / 1.34 Haste = One attack Every 2.09 Seconds]
2. 730 Primary Punch Attempts [16 Delay / 1.34 Haste = One attack Every 1.19 Seconds]
3. Fight was 552 seconds long

552 Seconds / 2.09 Seconds = 264 Offhand Crush Attempts * ((252 Dual Wield Skill Level + 52 Player Level) / 400) = 200 * (1 + ((218 Double Attack Skill + 52 Player Level) / 500)) = ~308 Predicted Secondary Crush Attempts on average.

552 Seconds / 1.19 Seconds = 463 Primary Punch Attempts * (1 + ((218 Double Attack Skill + 52 Player Level) / 500)) = ~713 Predicted Primary Punch Attempts on average.

The dual wield and double attack formulas I provided above seem correct for my level 52 Monk at least. I only riposted 11 times I think, so that wouldn't significantly affect either of these numbers.
