Some help for a noob

[Ashock]

As Tal said, "Main Hand" means right hand only.  "One Hand" is right or left, "Off Hand" is only left.  Your specials damage is determined by your weapon in the main hand.  When dual-wielding, the main hand damage stays the same.  The offhand damage is half of the weapon's damage, I believe.  Both offhand and mainhand have the miss percentage raise from 5% to 24% given equal level/weapon skill -> though specials still miss 5%.

So on the average, does dual-wield perform twice the number of attacks as opposed to 1 weapon, not counting the miss rate of course?

Also, in your opinions is it worth it for me to try to solo Deadmines for items and XP, even if I can't finish it at my lvl? I'm about to hit 24. It'd be best to party of course, but with my schedule being what it is (evenings on PST), that is not easy and I am not sure I want to go pubbie for this, AND I know I missed one last weekend.....
