wrong

doublestrike do proc offhands

so you can have 2 mainhand attacks and 2 offhand attacks in one swing


thats correct
if specials porc on offhands (think trip and tod do) then you can have 4 with 1 swing, yes

Yes, you do get an off hand proc on a double strike and if your luck holds out and you manage to maximize your double strike high enough when the DS items appear, your maximum number of attacks in DDO will have gone from

Ranger Tempest III = Max # 9
New Ranger Tempest III or other combinations = Max # 16

OLD ATTACK CHAIN
First Attack: Main Hand/Off Hand
Second Attack: Main Hand/Off Hand
Thrid Attack: Main Hand/Off Hand/Tempest III Off Hand
Frouth Attack: Main Hand/Off Hand
 
NEW ATTACK CHAIN
First Attack: Main Hand/Off Hand/Double Strike/Double Strike Off Hand
Second Attack: Main Hand/Off Hand/Double Strike/Double Strike Off Hand
Third Attack: Main Hand/Off Hand/Double Strike/Double Strike Off Hand
Fourth Attack: Main Hand/Off Hand/Double Strike/Double Strike Off Hand

Under the new system with two weapon fighting early on you have a chance of getting attacks on every attack, but at the same time a chance of not getting a single off hand on any(to be honest, though it may not be dnd 3.5, the chancing does give it a dnd feel), also if you manage to get a doublestrike item or ability early on you TWF attacks increase you possible number of attacks early on. So for those who think this is a complete nerf haven't considered the full possibilites of what it could mean if you namaged to get Off Hand 100% and maybe one day Double Strike 100%.
