The main hand is the primary weapon hand slot for weapons that only need one hand to wield (equip), but also used for weapons that require two hands.

Additional notes:

  • Information about the weapon should tell you if it can be used on the main hand.
  • The other hand is known as the off-hand.
  • For those with dual wield capability, weapons identified as main hand can not be used in the off-hand slot.
  • Two-handed weapons use both main hand and off-hand slots, but the off-hand slot will appear empty.
  • When creating weapons (Blacksmiths), main hand weapons will appear under the appropriate one-hand subclass.
  • Patch 2.4.2 changed many main hand weapons into one-handed weapons
