That's not how damage bonus works. When you swing and the game determines you hit the mob you get a damage number that you hit the mob for based on the damage of your weapon then the damage bonus is added to that. Essentially the damage bonus determines the absolute floor of damage you'll hit for. If the game decides you hit for 1 damage and the bonus of your mainhand is 8 then you'll hit for 9. I'm not sure if it's possible to hit for 0+bonus.

You don't just add the bonus to the weapon damage.

Although....as a 42 monk I have punched for 1 damage several times. Maybe once damage is calculated it then takes into account the AC of the target and then gets reduced? Not sure
