Ok, I guess I'm not explaining this right. So for simplicity lets forget about any bonuses that a given weapon might have, and look at the melee and magic damage of the weapons and the weapon damage stat. The damage of a weapon (melee or magic) should always be increased by a small % if placed in your primary (right) hand. Alternatively, any weapon placed in your off-hand (left) should be decreased by a large amount. These numbers are reflected in the stat menu of your character info screen under weapon damage, with melee displayed in white and magic displayed in purple within ().
A change in weapon damage should be seen, for example, when you wield a weapon that deals only melee
damage and a weapon that deals only magic damage, and for explanation lets give these weapons 100 ea. If you place the melee damage weapon in your MH and your magic damage weapon in your OH, and using the lvl 3 modification from DW EXP which is +5% for your MH and -50% for your OH. The numbers in your weapon damage stat should read 105 + (50). If the magic based weapon is placed in your MH and melee
in your OH. The stats should reflect as 50 + (105).
