You can wield a weapon in your offhand. Attacks with primary hand and offhand
weapons use a characters base hitroll and damroll, plus the hitroll and
damroll of the respective weapon. You will have 50-50 chance of hitting with
either weapon with your auto-attacks. Most skills will use your primary weapon
to calculate damage, unless you have specialized training.

The real advantage of wielding two weapons is attack speed - the attack speed
of both weapons is added to the player's total attacks. If you wield a pair
of fast weapons, your attack speed will be rather high. However, if you
attempt to wield a pair of slower weapons, you can actually DECREASE your
damage output by significantly lowering your rate of attacks.

When wielding a weapon in your offhand, you will have a more difficult time
channeling mana into spells, particularly damaging ones. You can still
cast normally, but the damage will be reduced.

Faster weapons tend to do less damage than slower weapons, so you may not
see a significant increase in damage output when dual wielding.
