Dual Wield & Enchantments

Should the Increase Weapon/Spell Damage be on the main or off-hand?

On my Magplar, I use 1x Increase WD/SD & 1x Crushing on both Willpower swords.

I put the Crushing on Main Hand, but I notice that my Off Hand (Increase WD/SD) drains much quicker. Is this some sort of bug or does Crushing not proc as often?

That seems like an easy question to answer, then you throw a curve ball regarding the enchantment drain.

Generally, the main hand enchantment gets way more use. If you thread, it's almost always main. Backup gets a chance for proc when attacking w multi lights, or a heavy. At least this has been my experience...main process 10x as often. If that holds up for you, I'd recommend dps up front and crushing back. In theory this brings more dps to all the trash fights, then introduces crushing for big boss battles where you might be bringing out more light/heavy attacks.

But why is your back draining faster?? It's hard to imagine you using the back more. I've never looked...maybe different enchantments have vastly different charge costs? That would be what I'd assume unless there's some playstyle reason I'm not thinking of right now. Hum.

Its because most of the Dual Wield weapon skills trigger the back weapon enchantment. There is only one DW skill that triggers the main hand enchantment although I forget which one it is...I don't think it is Flurry or Spin-to-Win and those are the skills most used.
