True. Power-wise, CFury is a main-hand weapon only. It provides no benefits or immunities simply by virtue of being equipped (which is what you want in an offhand weapon), its only real power comes from striking the target--and as the main hand is the only hand that has more than 1 attack per round, weapons whose power comes from their "on-hit" enchantments belong in the main hand and nowhere else.

Of course, I personally always leave CFury in the offhand, because it's too cheesily overpowered (to my taste) to use any other way. I'll put it in the mainhand of a Thief or Bard, or some other character with a poor THAC0 or ApR, but I'll only let my Warriors use it in the offhand.
