Oh I completely agree, most of what he says is spot on. But
this was just plain wrong. :-) He was considering only one
attribute (weapon speed) when slecting the best weapon to have
in your second hand. While I agree speed is of overriding
importance if you're trying to rapidly increase the dual wield
skill, once you have it maxed it's damage rate you want to
maximize. Damage rate is determined by speed *and* damage, so
the rule of "fastest weapon" does not apply any more.
