The character sheet shows two numbers under the damage heading: primary and secondary. However it seems that what the secondary damage is is not explained anywhere, or at least I could not find it. Logically is that the damage the you deal with your off-hand, but it is not clear how often is it dealt comparing to the primary, how it relates to recovery and if it has a percentage that it's being reduced by (like in WoW) so that you are not twice as dangerous if you have two weapons....

So how does secondary damage work?
