If you read above, my first minion attacking is using a 1H weapon the 2nd a 2H one.

Both have about a 160 dex chance to hit. Was not 1H supposed to be higher then a 2H?

> Was not 1H supposed to be higher then a 2H?

It's a higher base chance, not a higher max chance. So you'll only see a difference if you're not maxing out your dx chance anyway.

Wow, that was one assumption destroyed.

No kidding. 1H weapon value just dropped a bit in my eyes. *smiles* What's the odds of facing an opponent of nearly equivalent DX and equivalent PTH in order to use that advantage?
