>>I've also found offhand to be....handy....when using analyze. One hand has my slashing-heavy medium edge scythe blade and the other has a pointy stabby dagger, so when I have to do 'jab, slash, thrust, chop' I can use the best suited weapon for whichever style. Since both are small edge, my weapon trains fine no matter which hand I use. Yup, that is one advantage for maximizing DPS while performing combos. There will be a Situational and Channeled Maneuver that should improve DPS when dual wielding. I've been considering having the offhand weapon occasionally "proc" when making right handed attacks. It'd start at like 20% of the time with no shield, and decrease based on the size of the armworn shield being used. Guild abilities could increase this %. "I have no data yet.
