I tried looking at the thread on weapon style changes, but it didn't tell me if what I thought was right actually was. I would assume that quick weild prevents you from having to wait out the lag for weapon style change? Not sure, don't quote me on that.

Ok I'll answer honestly. Quick wield lets you gain weapon/combat advantage quicker than others. Normally when you change with a warrior it takes atleast two rounds for the advantage to kick in, but with quick wield it's instantaneous.

I always say thanks when I get my questions answered. But you make it hard pip. Wtf? Why couldn't you have just said that the first time?

Turns out you were right then Vevier.

I remember from a previous character that quick wield was mastered automatically. I think it was a ranger.. With my current character it needs to be practiced. Did you actually master yours Tepesh or did it start that way?

It allows you to wield a fiery dagger more quickly when in combat against the powerful trash pkers!

I had to practice it and then train it to get it to 100% not that hard to master your just gonna need time.

quick wield doesn't need any training. it works like it is already mastered even at 75%. at least, that's what this thread says anyway.

look how old the topic is let alone all the changes and tweak done. When that thread came out no matter what you did it never went up that is why. Now that it does improve dont you think it wouldnt stay the same?

I like how you posted this in the Newbie forum Voltron. Smile

You're such a newbie!

that is an valid argument, but consider the dates involved. on Jan 21 2009 quick wield was working like it was mastered, then on Feb 22 2010 it starts improving. I can't find any reason for this other than dav decided to put in the one liner (check_improve()). I also can't find any updates saying why it improves. regardless, quick wield is changed AGAIN on Oct 14 2010. now it just shortens the duration of advantages.
