Also, the official boards are already full of junk, such as one person claiming he has "thoroughly tested" it and the 2nd evoker weapon doesn't actually add damage unless it's through mods like +% damage -> he's wrong.
Originally, the damage was straight added. Dual-focus builds were the only way to go if you wanted to use any skills. About halfway through alpha it changed so that the second focus adds 50% of its damage to your skill damage - the same happened to Blademasters - and they upped the overall damage to compensate. Though dual-weapon is still the best, alternative styles are now more viable.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
