What delay are fists meant to be? i found a 60 warrior with 100 skill and 31 haste was making a round of attacks every two seconds. I didn’t expect this.

Regarding offhand fist barely swinging at low levels… my 17 warrior barely swings his offhand fang of the wolf. What weapon are you using in secondary which you find swings more than fist? Is it fast?

May I suggest levelling up h2h by briefly unequipping your primary weapon when using two handed weapons? Doing this allows the off hand a chance to swing every 3 secs or so, and avoids missing out on damage/procs/ac you’d be getting with a pair of 1handers.

I did a test at lvl 20. During an entire fight, with near max dual wielding skill, I saw my character punch 1 times. This seems very low compared to dual wielding weapons.

So it does happen, but for some reason its a rare occurance, and maybe thats a bug?

maybe its because at level 20 your dual wielding skill is very low. with max skill at level 20 you dual wield at most ~30 % of swings.

if you tested for 10 whole minutes with 35 delay in primary / secondary (both no weapon):

you would swing your primary weapon 171 times
you would swing your secondary weapon at most 51 times

if you tested for only 1 minute

17 swings for main hand
5 swings for offhand

Yea the skill was over 100. I saw it go up. Basically you are describing the 1 fight I did. Only 1 punch in bout 1 min. I will do more tests with some different weapons to see if it happens more often or not, and compare it to dw 2 weapons.
