When striking a monster and wielding a weapon in each hand, you have a 50% chance to swing either weapon. It's possible that your secondary weapon can swing multiple times in a row, so it's a good idea to have a decent off hand weapon.

Dual Wield specialization determines how often you are able to swing with both weapons simultaneously [25% + (Skill / 2)%]. After double hitting, the delay between your next swing is either your right or left weapon's delay (50% chance of either).

As your Dual Wield skill gets higher it is important to wield two very fast weapons of approximately the same speed. The reason for this is that the faster weapons you have, the more often you will pull off a double hit. If you have one large slow weapon and one quick weapon, your damage will be inconsistant and any time it attempts to use the large slow weapon's delay it means less opportunities to do a double hit.

The effectiveness of your dual wielded weapons damage is still governed by your skill in that weapons type. For example, if you used two small swords then advancing your sword skill will impact the damage done with them.

Also If you have a damage-add buff, you do more damage in the long run if your weapons are of similar speed.
