=== Dual Wielding === | |||
Wielding two (or more in the case of a Chaos Shape) melee weapons in different hands gives major accuracy penalties which is reduced by levels in the Dual Wielding skill. At low levels of Dual Wielding, the first weapon is roughly 1/2 as accurate as it would be single-wielded, the second weapon 1/4 as accurate, and so on. Because of this penalty, it is generally not advised to dual wield at low levels, until you have gained sufficient accuracy to hit reasonably often even with the penalty. | |||
Based on testing (by using a full stamina bar on a training dummy with both weapon classes starting at lvl 1 then loading save), dual wielding two weapons of the same class generates the same amount of weapon xp (and in the same amount of time) as single wielding, while dual wielding two weapons of different classes divides the weapon xp between the first and second weapon class on a 3/4 to 1/4 ratio. | |||
