Weapon Requirements

One would think that this chart would be simple to publish without errors, yet every other chart Assur has seen published is not completely accurate. As of December, 2012, Assur has verified all of the values in these charts.

Deftness for Using Two Weapons

The following is the finished version of the minimum deftness to use two weapons at once. It does not take into consideration warriors with considerable dexterity. (Ambidextrous or with the ability to use a weapon in each hand)

To use this chart, find the required deftness of the weapon in your main hand on the left side of the chart and the required deftness of the weapon in your off hand on the top of the chart. For example, to use a SC with an off hand DA, the above chart lists SC needing 11 deftness, and DA needing 7 deftness. Find 11 on the left and 7 on the top and the cross reference says 12 deftness is needed.

One note, there have been some oddities noticed when creating this chart. For some reason, warriors are occasionally able to dual wield with lower requirements than is listed below. Assur has not been able to figure out why and is considering this project finished. It may be possible to dual wield with less, but this chart represents the requirements without exception.
