OK the assassin forum has believed for a long time, that when you ww while dual wielding only your primary weapon will hit unless there are 2+ targets in range. This means that in pvp dual wielding accomplishes nothing, because you will only have 1 target in range. Only your primary weapon will hit. Granted, a lot of assassins still use claw/claw because you save dex by using claw block and because claw block can block magical attacks. However, I see no reason for a barb to use beast/botd instead of a botd gpa.
Anyway, I think the assassin forum may be wrong on this point, but I want to get the issue settled once and for all. Check out this recent thread where they explain some very technical aspects of ww. Let me know what you think.
