Dual Wield

[tommydgun]

from p1999 wiki:

"Dual wield affects the chance for an equipped offhand weapon to swing. Whenever the delay requirement for the offhand weapon is met, a check is made versus your dual wield skill to see if the offhand weapon will successfully swing.
. . .

Each weapon's attack speed / delay is considered independently when dual wielding, which means it is possible to have multiple swings on an offhand weapon before the main-hand weapon swings.

Damage bonus only affects your primary weapon, and as a result, for maximum DPS (damage per second) you will want to put the best ratio weapon in the secondary weapon slot regardless of delay."

This is the least logical argument for putting your best delay weapon in your offhand that I have ever read. If skill checks for your off-hand are independent and will not be made 100% of the time, why on earth would you want to put your best ratio weapon in your offhand? Your primary will swing 100% of the time on time, thus you would want your best ratio in your primary hand otherwise you would lose dps.

Example: Let's consider I have a jade mace and an adamantite club. (which I do) People say put the JM in primary and AC in secondary. How does this make sense? Based on the above mechanics, the AC has a better ratio and I would want my better ratio swinging 100% of the time. Every time I fail a DW check on my AC timer I am losing more dps than if I was failing a DW check on a jade mace timer because the ratio (and damage) is less.

Anyone know the reason people say this or if this is completely false information? How do you equip weapons primary and secondary. Let's continue to use the example of jade mace / adamantite club. (I cannot afford SoS so please don't mention it in thread)
