This is your main hand damage bonus for 1h weapons, based on your level. Before level 28, you can just use the best ratio weapons in both hands. As you level up past 28, the damage bonus plays a bigger role in your DPS, so lower delay weapons start to become more desireable in your main hand.

Lets take two weapons with equal ratios, but different delays. We have a 10 damage/20 delay weapon, and a 20 damage/40 delay weapon. Without haste, and with the 11 damage mainhand bonus:

1. The 10 damage weapon would do ((10 weapon damage * (10 dice roll / 10 )) + 11 bonus damage) * (60 seconds / 2 seconds per swing) = 630 damage per minute with 0 misses, and rolling an average of 10 on your d20 roll.

2. The 20 damage weapon would do ((20 weapon damage * (10 dice roll / 10)) + 11 bonus damage) * (60 seconds / 4 seconds per swing) = 465 damage per minute with 0 misses, rolling an average of 10 on your d20 roll.

Even though the ratios are the same, the faster weapon does more damage.

Two handed weapons have higher damage bonuses than 1h weapons, based on the delay of the weapon. This table will show you what damage bonus you will get for 2h weapons based on your level and the weapon's delay:

But then before level 28, wouldent it make sense to put the best dps weapon in mainhand so it atleast swings 100% of the time, since dual wield skill is not maxxed here for me?
