Parallel GLD/PLD 2-handed in other classes.

[Wintersandman]

Every weapon already has a set weapon damage, Monks and Ninjas dual wielding would mean their weapon damage is being lowered to compensate for the second slot.

Not necessarily. It's just a percentage change on the backend. As most games use the primary weapon for abilities then apply percentages for auto attacks.

You'd now need 2 weapons to have the same DPS you had before, which would cause people to not only whine but hate RNG more, as Dragoon would stay relevant with just the one weapon.

People will always whine. Need a better argument than this.

Now, if you want only the main hand to be your damage, then the offhand would just be a stat stick, and really not needed

Logic is the key thing here. I equip a dagger to my Main Hand but then when I draw I have a weapon in both hands. Where did that weapon come from? Do I have magic hands?
