offhand brawling change? 03/18/2008 05:02 PM CDT
was there some tweak made since last night to off handed brawling? typically i only train the offhand skill with brawling, by ELBOW(ing) left, JAB(ing) left, then PUNCH(ing) left. i have been doing this in sand sprites for a few days now and have never had a problem locking it. now i cant even get the skill above clear by doing this. i know i havent capped them out yet, here are my skills:

Offhand Weapon: 49 77.11% clear
Brawling: 87 49.27% bewildering

now i can still work off hand if i have a weapon in my left hand, just not by brawling. what gives??

Brawling without a left weapon was never suppose to teach offhand.

Did you A)

Remove your brawling weapons?

B)

Remove some of your brawling weapons to open boxes and forget to put them back on?

C)

Use only circling and feinting?

i have been doin so off and on for weeks. and more extensively for the past 3 days. always lock with ease.

>Did you A)

never actually had a brawling weapon. just gauntlets/gloves depending on armor im training and both always taught.

>B)

>Remove some of your brawling weapons to open boxes and forget to put them back on?

same answer as above, never used brawling weapons

>C)

>Use only circling and feinting?

only thing i ever do when brawling (normal or off hand) is elbow, jab, punch. rinse and repeat.

See post by Ssra. Maybe you capped on the sand sprites using only brawling to learn offhand, maybe he found it and fixed it.

IE,

Maybe you know too much brawling to brawl sprites and learn offhand.

can you direct me to the post please Shnurui?

Ssra could you respond please if this was a bug and you fixed it. its not really a big deal, im just merely curious cause i was learning one day and the next im not. i certainly have no problem actually using a weapon in my offhand to learn it.

>IE,

>Maybe you know too much brawling to brawl sprites and learn offhand.


that could be true. but is there some other factors that go into learning offhand with the weapon you are using IN the offhand(i hope i worded that correctly to make sense). sprites teach to 100 correct? i only have 87 brawling.

This was apparently disabled, so it wasn't anything you were doing.

The ability to learn offhand skill via brawling was a bug. A known bug which was low on my list of priorities but I got it fixed (yet again and hopefully for good) last night and rolled the fix live. I apologize that I was too tired to remember to give you all a warning but it was indeed an intentional change.

thank you for the response oolan. i was not aware that it was a bug. using a weapon in my off hand is no problem. was just curious as to what happened, heh.

What does "punch left" now teach, 100% brawling?
