Damage Calculator - Possible Bug?

My characters damage is 70-79 with no weapon in either hand. If I put the axe in his left hand the damage doesn’t change. If I put it in his right the damage is 102-145. If I use the saber with the left hand the damage goes to 78-87. With the right it’s 113-129.

The weapons have the following characteristics…
Axe – Color: Yellow, Attack: 32-66, Dexterity: +2, HP: +8, and Vitality: +4
Saber – Color: Blue, Attack: 35-42, Strength: +7

How is damage calculated? Why does it matter which hand uses the weapon?

All I know is that the weapon that does any damage from standard attacks will go in the right hand.

In the left hand, it only does damage in case of a combo. Otherwise, it only applies whatever bonuses are on it, such as Strength, which increases your damage output.

Your saber is best in his right hand and your axe in his left.

I get that but if that were truly the case wouldn’t the damage not go up when the saber is in the left hand?

The damage goes up, because the saber gives +7 strenght.
