I hear that you have a lot of opinions, but I’m asking for anyone with knowledge of why so many people have told me that 2H procs more (and my anecdotal experience confirms this).

I just know people have been telling me for years that 2H procs 3/min with max dex while 1h procs 2/min in mainhand and 1/min in offhand. It’s hard to trace the origins since it’s been so commonly accepted by some folks, I assume due to testing that 2H procs about 1.5x as often as a primary 1h and that offhand procs 50% as often as primary 1h.

You have been hearing a lot of opinions I am sure. But how you are rating which ones are more/less credible is a mystery. I am not sure why you think why these other people's opinions are more credible.

As JimJam said, you can run the numbers yourself. But remember that 2H will proc more naturally due to their slower speeds. You will want to test a 1H and 2H weapon with the same delay to rule out this possibility.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Cat_o%27_Nine_Tails and https://wiki.project1999.com/Coldain_Velium_Great_Staff would be cheap weapons you could test with, and they proc at pretty low levels. I think the Great Staff procs at level 1, and the whip procs at 20. It is surprisingly difficult to find cheap 1h and 2h weapons with the same delay.
