2 Hand on Mount?

[Flushing]

I noticed that when I am using a weapon with 2 hands and then activate my mount, it treats the weapon as being used in 2 hands and reduces the weapons Stat requirements.

But, once I am mounted I cannot seem to toggle the weapon to 2 handed mode if I toggle it to 1 handed.

How do you toggle the weapon to 2 handed mode while mounted?

The only thing that I have been able to do is a workaround, where I dismount, set the weapon to 2 handed, then mount again.

I dont think you can.

You cannot two-hand on the mount, as a drawback of Strength weapons. I feel what you're describing in my soul and yeah, it's worth a respec for horseback versatility, eventually.

Isn't it just the weapon-art button?

The animation uses two-hands.. so i figured it treated the attack as a 2-handed stance.

Those just make you heavy attack from left-side, no?

You can do 4 attacks on horse (with melee weapon that's it), light attack left/right and heavy attack left/right - that substitutes your R1,L1,R2,L2 when you are on foot.

"Stance change" is only possible if you dismount briefly, but given that horse is PVE-only it does not seem to be much of a limitation. Not that I would be against them changing that and give an option, just pointing out the minor return on it.

this is a weird gap in the polish of the game. you can get on the horse with a two handed weapon, but if you swap weapons, you can't get it back

if they wanted to handicap 2h weapons, they could have just said that you can't 2h on Torrent, period. otherwise, you would expect to not have the function impeded if you swap to a spell or bow and want to swap back

Well it's like why do the have no dedicated dodge-button. Likely because consollers have only that many buttons on their stick....

Got it, so just mount when you're in 2 handed stance and that's it?

When you are unmounted, yes.

When you are on the mount you cannot switch to 2-handed stance. You can't only use it, while mounted, if you got on horseback when you were in 2 handed stance.

The issue is that if you weapon swap (say switch to casting) while mounted, then it will switch to one handed stance and you cannot swap back to 2 handed unless you dismount.
