Dual wield logic

[Defo]

Even at max skill (252) on a monk, dual wield only fires roughly 65-70% of the time, according to years of my parses.

Generally speaking if you want to do a proper parse, it should be in a controlled environment. From experience I've learned that results can be skewed if you are parsing while playing normally.

As a simple example, you will probably miss a few swings on a fleeing mob. If you add that data to the parses you are reviewing, you have a dataset with less swings than there should be compared to the time of the fight. This would give you a lower dual wield percentage potentially.

Obviously you can't really have a controlled environment on parsing raid mobs, but testing something like dual wield percentage can be done on any mob.
