Because off hand items don’t have a damage value, I would think there isn’t. I have always wondered why they put these in the game. Maybe there are some classes that can use them?
Solution, let us dual wield wands.
Stat sticks for retail. That’s all they are.
In classic, they had more of a dynamic use. They would be a good way to conserve mana or to attack something without using mana or an ability that consumed items.

Offhands give intellect, which is the damage value. You’re playing a class that can use them. The situation where they’re viable is whenever you want to deal optimal damage as a caster and/or don’t have a staff to equip.
I guess because you can’t hit a mob over the head with a book and expect to do much damage?

I miss wands being able to do real damage.
When I played Classic back when it started, making and selling wands was a great gold earner. Every caster wanted a wand because when the mana was zeroed out, you could still do damage smiting with your wand.

I don’t miss going oom as a caster dps and having to wand until I regen enough mana to cast again.
Caster damage doesn’t scale with weapon damage.
Back then the wand could at least DO significant damage. I would use it to finish things off to save mana.

They have int and secondary stats which effect your damage, so yes they do.
I just wish WE COULD TMOG WANDS AND OFF HANDS OVER STAVES ALREADY
