The downside, of course, is that I'm now flaring with less-common flares rather than the awesome grapple flares on my gloves unless I somehow manage to scrounge up two razorpaws or paingrips with grapple flares. I doubt there's even one in existence. To top it off, I have to get three pieces of gear ensorcelled to get the flare chance equal! The only reason I use UAC weapons is to open up parry since I'm a warrior and not a monk which I thought was the point of UAC weapons (opening up access to older game systems without requiring code changes). Finros, please, if you see this, is there anyway to remove the flare reduction when using plain UAC weapons? I don't see the need to penalize using UAC weapons in this way.
