If you meant using improved damage+Accurate attack (or another stanza combination) then you will not have increased decay to my knowledge.

Likewise I do not believe that using the doublespell template will cause faster decay either.
Yeah, I was refering to dual weilding, where I get two sets of XP per kill.

While I appreciate your response, and don't take this the wrong way, but I'd love to see an official response to the query, because I'm only level ~51/51 in 1h and close combat, and 50 (by default) in 2h, and it'd be good to know if I should give up on my dual weilding quest. :)

The only reason ive seen that the decay rate on lower equip is less than on higher equip was when i started fighting in groups as opposed to soloing....I was unable to fight the higher mobs when i was soloing hence the slower decay rate...now i fight in groups against higher level mobs...which in turn when they hit me they do tremendous amts of decay...of course my pittley little q50 weapons break all the time...thats what happens when you fight a rock with a plastic sword.
