choose your weapon(s)
specifics:
you have 2 hands, and neither is big enough to wield a 2-hander by itself
speed is measured in seconds, lower is faster
there is no offhand damage penalty
armor reduces damage taken by a percentage, rather than a flat amount
blocking reduces damage taken by 90% after armor and only happens sometimes
all weapon-using abilities also hit with the offhand(if applicable) with whatever damage multiplier the main hand gets(if any) whenever it hits with the main hand
there are no exclusively two-handed or dual-wielding or one-handed or dagger weapon abilities, for the sake of simplicity
all weapon-using abilities' cooldowns are multiplied by(main hand weapon speed+offhand weapon speed)
all weapon-using abilities are on their own "global" cooldown separate from that of other abilities, and that weapon ability "global" cooldown is also multiplied by (main hand weapon speed+offhand weapon speed)
the amount of armor had by the enemies you'd be fighting can vary wildly between enemies as some may be cloth-wearing mages and some may be warriors in full plate armor with a shield, but no enemy is going to exceed 75% damage reduction from armor; no further information of that sort will be given
