    I think you should quit while you're behind. I also said "primarily uses one hand." You're ignoring all the 2-handed weapons. You're ignoring that Monks fight with two fist weapons. You're ignoring that Shields are a weapon, not an armor, wielded on the off-hand. And you're ignoring Grimoires and Star Globes both being operated with two hands.

    Dual wield explicitly refers to wielding a weapon in each hand, not using both hands for one weapon (which a lot of jobs do). Hence, dual as in two weapons. You might want to clarify that before you make enemies with your wording.

    Even Ninja and Monk are not true dual-wielding classes, since it's purely a cosmetic difference. You can't equip either hand with different weapons, and there's still only one auto-attack instead of two per delay period. For all intents and purposes everyone is two-hand except PLD, sort of.
