Stats overall don't do much, you just want to make sure you have 75 agility or higher.(big AC penalty if lower)

stats also don't have anything to do with hit rate.. only your skill level + level determine that.. like max skill + blue mob = easy to hit while low skill or red mob you may miss alot.

Try finding a fast piercer or 1hb to go in the 2nd hand and just fight non stop, skills will eventually go up. It would help to put 20 or so points in each one to start if you're at 0 in each.. the first 10 skill points can be really slow.

2nd hand damage is neglible compared to primary until high levels so it wouldn't matter so much even if the 2nd hand training weapon is really bad.. just as long as it's fast.
