has no such restriction.Q: What is the dual-wield penalty?

0

The dual-wield penalty is that your base chance to miss for each weapon, on normal attacks, is24%. Furthermore, your off-hand weapon gets only half of the damage boost from attack power(though there is a talent you can learn to up the off-hand damage). If you don’t dual-wield, yourbase chance to miss on a normal attack is 5%. Your base miss chance on special attacks isalways 5%, the dual-wield penalty does not apply to them. However, in spite of this it is recommended you train dual-wield and use it, as your damage persecond (DPS) will be higher in the long run. Furthermore, it gives you another equippableweapon, which means you can have more stat boosts on your character.
