Dual wield’s dps was so spit poor that people (correctly) complained on the forums ad nauseum until ToT was made, because there was no reason to go dual wield. Dude, the specs weren’t black and white back then like they are now. You dipped into each tree for a little bit of everything. Sure, you got the last trait in one tree (usually) but this whole “HURR DURR COMPETE WITH UNHOLY” thing wasn’t a thing.
