This has made for a very interesting read. Thanks to everyone that's added something. But has the jury come back with a verdict yet? I've seen a slight improvement in my DW damage....and it's not something I can say with absolute authority comes from DW changes with GU38. I don't yet have a decent one hander to play with, so I'm saving my 3 remaining respecs until I do. There's a thread in the Ranger forum, where I'm seeing claims of DPS increases of up to 600. I think I would have noticed a jump of that magnitude. I did'nt. Has anyone seen increases like this? Or anything close? Is 1hr still the way to go? Str/Wis, or Agi/Wis?
Looks like if you are tempted to go Dual Wield you might want to hold off or maybe switch to dual wield for awhile. This is what a dev in that ranger thread had to say. Aeralik wrote: So, if you have the right weapons...enjoy it for awhile I guess

I actually was not aware of this "bug" (for lack of a more accurate word, I guess?), or unintended bonus..Whatever it'll be called. Which is why I was sticking by what I said about onehanding still being better. My testing was never done in groups with proc mods. Anyway...Once the "Fix" is in, I'll be right
