	For example, ordinary haste generally accelerates all equipped weapon timers. When the same haste multiplier applies to every compared weapon, it scales both totals together.		For example, ordinary haste generally accelerates all equipped weapon timers. When the same haste multiplier applies to every compared weapon, it scales both totals together.

	~~However, shared effects may stop cancelling perfectly when the game applies:~~

	* Integer timer rounding.
	* A minimum weapon-delay floor.
	* Different eligibility rules for primary, secondary, or two-handed attacks.
	* Different Double Attack, Triple Attack, or flurry behavior by hand.
	* Hand-specific proc rates or bonuses.

	~~Higher Dual Wield skill therefore increases the percentage of secondary timer opportunities that become attacks. It does not change the secondary weapon's listed delay.~~

			== Dual Wield Calculator ==

			<div id="eql-dual-wield-calculator"></div>

			The calculator compares two one-handed weapons against a two-handed weapon using the normalized weapon-score model from the spreadsheet: <code>((2 × damage) + damage bonus) ÷ delay</code>. Dual wield adds the expected offhand contribution by multiplying the offhand score by the modeled Dual Wield chance. It does not model hit rate, haste, procs, STR/ATK, skill-up speed, special attacks, or encounter armor.

Damage bonus only affects your primary weapon.

Ambidexterity, when selected in the calculator, multiplies the modeled base Dual Wield chance by 1.35 and caps the result at 100%.
