&gt; I have not scientifically tested this out yet but from last night, using a<br/>

 </span></blockquote>A BLW and DD only have a half second difference in attack<br/>
speed.  Over a one minute battle, the DD will only attack 5<br/>
more times than a BLW if wielded in the primary.  If wielded<br/>
in the secondary and a 20% chance to dual wield (roughly L20),<br/>
the DD would only attack one more time than the BLW on average<br/>
over a minute.  It&#39;d be easy to fail to notice that<br/>
difference.<br/>
<br/>
If you want to really test it, try a DD vs a minotaur axe.<br/>
