Q: I have a simple question about the damage penalty you get when using a left hand axe without any LA spec. My SB wants to use 2 1H and be a crit blade, but people tell me I must have spec in LA, else I will lose X% damage on my main hand. How much do I need in LA to get rid of this penalty?
A: There isn't a penalty. Here's what one of our lead programmers had to say when I forwarded your question to him: "That's a very odd way of viewing it. That's like saying in order to get rid of the -1000% damage penalty my level one character has, I must reach level fifty and spec to fifty in such and such skill.
"You're not under a penalty for not training left axe, you just don't get the bonus that each extra train would give you. Wielding two weapons but not putting points into a dual wield type of skill isn't really a great idea."
