Dual Wield

This article is about the thief skill type. For the ability to wield the same weapon in both hands, see Weapon#Weapon usability by professions. For the Weaver's mechanic, see Dual Attack.

Dual Wield is a skill type exclusive to the thief profession. They are weapon skills that are determined by the combination of main hand and off hand weapons that are currently equipped. The damage is determined by the main hand weapon only. They are located in the third slot of the skill bar.
