Why would it not give TH in offhand is the more correct question.

Perhaps for the same reason that Martial Knife doesn't give TP Bonus in the offhand.

Because treasure hunter is dependant on mainhand weapon? Huh? You're adding a trait. WSes use the weapon, TH doesn't.

I never said knife doesn't work in offhand, but the person who I was originally responding to made it sound like it's blatantly obvious that it does work in the offhand, and it was further implied that the reason it's blatantly obvious is because he couldn't think of any other weapons in the game that had a bonus which didn't work in the offhand.

Weaponskills are performed by the main-hand weapon. I don't get why this is hard to understand.

Who said I don't understand that? (BTW offhand damage is calculated in WS damage too)

I know this. Just because the secondary weapon effects the damage calculated into a weaponskill doesn't mean that the traits of the weapon that are weaponskill-specific flag when its used in offhand.

If this were true, you would be able to break the latents on trial weapons in offhand, along with use the weaponskills associated with the offhand weapon type.

Yea, was mainly asking for when I farm. Seems to work mostly with rare items. Was 0/4 on sirens hair the same morning I got a speed belt >_>

Assuming the TH bonus is a flat % (say only +1%), an item with a 0.05% drop rate will become a 1.05% drop rate (it'll drop 2100% more often than usual). However, an item with a 20% drop rate will only become a 21% drop rate (it'll drop 5% more often than usual).

So it does seem to work best with rare items.

If you off-hand a Heart Snatcher, you will only get the crit bonus on your off-hand swings.

As opposed to getting the crit bonus on both hands if you mainhand it? Not being sarcastic, I'm actually curious to know.

Correct, the crit+% only applies to the hand that wields it. As an example, lets say a ninja mainhands senji and offhands fudo - main hand will have a 6% bonus, and the offhand will have the 3% bonus. The bonus is NOT applied globally across both hands as was first thought.

This is why people are envious of Destroyers, the bonus is applied to all hits.

It doesn't apply to kicks.

Question: Does Kick Attacks +6 from Bahamut Hose / Kick Attacks +5 from AF2, add much? Like how much +% is it?

Probably +6% and +5% respectively? I would assume anyways!
