It's very important for Warriors and Rangers.
No its not, as velious was beat in kunark gear without weapon swapping. Its levels of autism higher than canni dancing. Hope this helps.

So what if zerg can beat content. That has nothing to do with maximizing your character in other situations where the difference matters more.

Players who are trying to level or farm or beat certain content with the smallest amount of people possible will see big gains by playing better.

What you call "autism" is standard level of top play in competitive games. It's hilarious how you even said that about Monk offhand fist technique in this thread. Wow, clicking your Two-hander off and on sure is a difficult task, when otherwise you would be sitting there doing nothing else at all, just staring at the NPC and autoattacking. LOL.

Trying to full weapon swap every round with max haste is surely annoying, but at least occasionally it will feel rewarding, if you know it's needed to beat a certain NPC.

If on blue could you show me what you are talking about? I have diff weps to try and can run gam parse. I wanna see how to do it please /nod
I don't have a dual wield character on Blue. I also don't have EQ installed at all right now.

Just try without too high of a haste mod to start. You could also not use auto-attack to start with. Create a hotkeys for manual attack with your primary weapon and offhand weapon, and have a bag opened and positioned next to your equippable weapon slots on screen, so you can switch between your Two-hander and offhand weapon with minimal mouse movement. Press the hotkey for manual attack with the primary weapon, swap in the offhand and press that attack hotkey, then swap in the primary weapon and hit that attack hotkey until it happens (at which point then you swap again and keep repeating the cycle).

You'll have to find what feels optimal for you. When max hasted, swapping every other round is probably going to be most viable. What two-handers does your character have right now?

Twisted Steel Bastard Sword is fantastic for DPS, just get yourself a Scimitar of the Emerald Dawn for the offhand now!

That other weapon may have too low of a delay to be able to swap effectively when full hasted, let us know your findings there.
