As I understand it, you could actually Dual-Wield 2 of these weapons (say a BLU could wield sword and club) and end up with +376 skill for the main hand, but nothing for the off-hand. Great, capped acc and att on main hand but off-hand still can't hit shit.

Any nice new shields out there? ;p

Also 188 skill over 20 levels equates to 9.4 skill per level, which is much higher than we ever got during levelling! My guess is that they did it so that they can make H2H work on half the skill is applied to each hand without screwing them over.

As it is now, the only way to cap haste on a single-hand job will be to single-wield and sub DRK for Last resort. No point what-so-ever in dual-wielding if you won't be able to hit with your off-hand, or you have to gimp your gear by equipping more acc even when main hand is capped, just so your off-hand can hit.
