Weapon Delay

[Kingdom74]

<DIV>Hey all. I've been away from EQ2 for about a year and a half now. I had a question about dual wielding with weapon delays. Do you want your fastest weapon in the main hand with the higher damage higher delay in the offhand? Thanks for any advice. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<DIV>Forgive StGeorg hes a Hat who never reads questions before answering...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Well it depends on the weapons... We no longer gain any procs from the off hand... that includes poisons buffs weapon procs or inspiration. So if you have a weapon with a proc and one without most the time the procer should be in the mainhand. Hope that helps</DIV>

<DIV>Aim for a onehander with a delay at about 2.0 <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

No, inspiration doesn't proc off of offhand attacks. This was nerfed awhile back for being *too* godly...just like hurricane and inspiration triggering off of double attack, which was also nerfed. :p
