'QUICK WIELD'
Syntax: AUTOMATIC
Quick to adjust to changing conditions in combat, agile classes can switch
between weapons more quickly than other classes by using their quick wield
ability. This allows them to speed up the equipping of weapons during
combat so that they can quickly switch to a more advantageous weapon (see
WEAPON TYPE for more information), adjust when caught in an inferior
COMBAT STYLE, or to recover their weapon more quickly after suffering from
skills such as
DISARM,
OVERHEAD CRUSH, or
RAKE. Greater proficiency in
the skill reduces the time required to switch to new weapons in combat, though it
never makes the transition instantaneous. Daggers, very nimble weapons, are
able to be switched the fastest in this instance.
