    Offhand weapon question.

    Just 1 question: does the base DMG of the offhand affect WS (rampage, vorpal blade, etc.)?

    Only for 1 hit...

    when you Dual wield you always add one Offhand Hit to the end of a WS

    Rampage becomes 6 hits, Vorp becomes 5 Hits...

    only during physical weapon skills. (I believe, I play mage jobs...)

    Asking about the bolded part, because I've wondered this from time to time. Say you have a 4-hit WS, is it:

    Main1 > Off > Main2 > Main3 > Main4? or

    Main1 > Main2 > Main3 > Main4 > Off?

    The extra hit comes second. It's easy to test this with a WS such as Rampage. If I kill something with the first two hits, I'll have 12 TP rather than 7. 7 is possible if I missed the offhand swing, but it's not common.

    I know 12 TP means that only the main and offhand hits connected, because those two hits are the only way to make 12.

    This is correct.
