Since LU19, with melee weapons no longer procing on ranged, I was thinking using a shield would be the best way to go. I bought myself a fabled shield and then I noticed that my attack stat was dropping by about half with the shield on. I decided to try out using a one-hander and the only thing I had handy was the weakened ghoulbane. I popped it on and sure enough my attack stat went from about 590 up to 960. With two dual wield weapons it was at about 1190. Does this mean that using a single dual-wield weapon is not a viable option? Does this, in fact, affect your chance to hit with ranged attacks? I'm inclined not to worry about it, as it would be absurd if not using two dual wield weapons hurt your ability to fire a bow, but I would still like to be sure.<div></div>
