please tell me how i have acess to both weapons, wep skills, i have only been able to use the wep skills of my main hand, never of the subbed weapon. i might be wrong tho , I'll try it today and tell you for sure

This is outright wrong. You only get the WS of your main weapon.

Though I believe you will still skill up on your off hand.

i have a hard time understanding why nobody has brought up ranged weapons. i realized early that daggers supplied no damage. so i picked up a bow and some arrows. at 28 i partied with a 30ish war and 40ish whm (was out to kill orcs just for fun and drops) i was out dmging the war who was weilding a gsd. and that is without taking sneak into it. a round for me (1 ranged attack [~45] and 1 dagger attack[~20]) took just as long as the gsd and hitting for 20 points more, add in sneak on top of that. maybe i'm off base and this is something that only works at low levels, if so, please let me know and provide any inputs.

Hey Aegir :spin:

Bows are great. You'd need to start training them really early on to be able to hit anything constantly in the mid levels tho. Boomerangs are great too.

Only problem is these are C and D ranked weapons for a thf and against IT HiDef/HiEV mobs in the high levels, this amounts to missing many, many times.

yeah, archery does great damage, but ever since i got to Garliage Citidel i have been slacking off on keeping that capped. i really want to use guns but i dont really wanna spend like 8k per stack of bullets just to raise my skill level.

using gun to solo is a good

The emphasis is on SHOULD, as in "should be able to". We can only currently use the weaponskills in the main hand when dual wielding.
