Figuring Out Weapon Damage

[Gadrel Amon]

Until weapon damage was normalized in I think Planes of Power, dual wield worked as follows:

Main Hand received a flat damage bonus dependent on level. At levels 50-60 this bonus was significant enough that a low damage/low delay main hander would significantly outperform a higher damage / higher delay weapon.

The off-hand received no bonus.

For a duel wielding character, according to the rules of Classic, the best choice is the lowest possible delay weapon in the main-hand and the best ratio in the off-hand.

Much obliged. I've been trying to remember this magic rule for a while now.

Yeah, Fastest in main hand, best ratio in off hand...

Here's a thread from 2003 discussing it.. (pretty sure nothing changed between launch and 2003 in this regard)
