  Dexterity: 25

Description
-----------
Dual wield is a passive skill that allows you to attack with a weapon
in each hand. When you have two weapons equipped, you gain a chance
each combat round to strike with your offhand
weapon.\n\nRequirements:\n  - Must have a weapon in each hand (no
shield)\n  - 25 Dexterity to learn\n\nYour offhand attack chance
improves with skill level:\n  - Skill 0: 20% chance per round\n  -
Skill 40: 60% chance per round\n  - Skill 80+: 100% chance per
round\n\nRogues are masters of dual wielding:\n  - At 50+ skill:
chance for a second offhand attack\n  - At 80+ skill: chance for a
third offhand attack\n\nThe skill trains passively whenever you fight
while dual wielding. Shorter weapons like daggers are easier to dual
wield - longer weapons require more dexterity to use in your
offhand.\n\nTip: Dual wielding sacrifices the defense of a shield for
extra offense. Rogues benefit most from this aggressive style.
