Default 1h melee dmg overpowered

I have noticed that when meleeing with 2 1h weapons you can EASILY outdamage even a hasted monk using a Bo Staff of Composure (55ish dmg 25 dly). The reason is twofold:

1) Main and offhand both get benefits from STR bonusses to damage (in EQLive only the main hand gets the STR bonus)

2) 2-Handed weapons behave the same as 1 handers, whlst in EQLive they get a larger dmg bonus, even with low delay

Fixes:

-Disable STR bonus for secondary hand

-Raise dmg bonus on 2h (x2 would seem appropriate)

Sorry if I don't post code to do this but my prog skills don't go beyond anything more complex than "if", "then", "else"...
