Game Mechanics: Dual wield is not classic

[letsdance]

the OP is right. i was just reading that it was implemented differently here and wondered. i am 100 % sure because this was the (not too long) first time when i bothered about such mechanics and spend much time with them. it is also how it was intended (since this has been questioned in this thread).

i tried but could not find any data to back it up. though, of course, the data found on the net is flawed anyways because many "wrong facts" have been known have been known back then (like jig of vigor boosting mana regen *lol*). for example i have found a few sites that claimed, dual wield was always only triggered when you swinged with your main hand (which is wrong of course because it was only until lvl 30).

all these posts that people quote here to prove differently do not talk about any levels and are from far later times in EQ when anyone got to lvl 30 alot faster and below lvl 30 wouldn't really bother. i assume (like all info that i found) that those people are all above lvl 30 and therefore it works differently.
