Game Mechanics: Dual wield is not classic

There's also this thread:

there was a test way way way back in the day with a lammy in secondary and shimmering partisan in primary. the lammy even swang when the shimmering partisan didn't. but yes get something with a good ratio. like jarsath trident i picked up for 40pp!!

put a wurmslayer in main and a lammy in off and you can watch the offhand swinging independantly. the reason ratio is so important over speed in offhand is because there is no damage bounous, so you want it to the best weapon it can be for the most dps/taunt/whatever.

The shortest test is put a GLS mainhand and whatever weapon you want off

lol....

How do you explain people who used wurmy in mainhand and something fast (like lupine dagger) in offhand? Do you really think the dagger could only swing when the wurmy swings? Anyways, it's been well researched and documented that weapons work independently. Check these forums or steel warrior archives or monkly business archives etc.

as far as i read in this forum, nothing is proven at all. everyone who finds a "proof" that dual wield worked as it is implemented here, links something that is posted by high levels (where dual wield indeed works this way) at much later points of time when lvls below 30 didn't matter.

to answer your question: i explain this by these people being higher than lvl 30.
