Firstly it is duAl wield with an 'A', not duEl wield. Dual meaning two.....Duel meaning combat between 2 opponents....sheesh this was covered in EQ-101 ten years ago. Learn your language people (peeple for the idiots). KEeee-reist U yanks are dumb (thats dummm with a B). feel free to flame but you are VERY stupid. smartest thing you have done in 30 years was vote in Clinton & Obama (Lovers NOT fighters)
THIS IS A RANGERS VIEW OK use the fastest weapon in your PRIMARY for agro, no question about that. If you need to get ability raised use primary with the style you wish to advance ( I got my piercing up pretty damn quick by sacrificing my 1HB / 1HS in the primary....level 40ish when I started). I truly believe that weapon speed affects the skill advancement...2HS does not level equally to dual wield...which I think is spread between the weapon type when you dual wield. For example...I will put the slower weapon in my primary hand once I level to gain skill quickly. After that its DPS because I solo or keep agro.
Any clue how the frequency of attacking with the off hand is affected by the delay of the weapons held? In other words does the delay of the off hand weapon matter like it does with the primary or should I just find a weapon with a high damage and not worry about the delay?

Absolutely =) It's a great way to learn both skills at once; a side note that using weapons of the same skill in both hands is just as effective (you will gain skill ups off BOTH weapons!). Veru useful.
I'm not sure of your question? However once trained all that is required is that you equip the primary and secondary slot with dissimilar (i.e. not exactly the same) weapons and you're off and running. Feedback will immediately let you know you are in 'dual wield' mode.
