I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what type of penalties if any that I'm getting equipping weapons I'm not specced for. This time I'm specced for axes only. I have dual wielding but am equipping a sword and a mace. Do the points in the ax affect me in any way while equipping these weapons? Do I still get these bonuses or do they only help me if I'm equipping an ax? How does this work with dual wielding? Do I have to have 2 axes equipped , do i get double bonuses for 2 axes? Say I have a 20dmg mace and a sword. Would the 15dmg axe still be worthwhile? I tried swapping and testing but I couldn't determine where I was losing damage.
There are no longer penalties for equipping unskilled weapons. You still get the bonuses from your skilled weapons though, and dual wielding those weapons will double your bonuses.
