Reaching L10 - can someone explain exactly how swap weapon ability works?

[Gregorovitch]

For example, can you equip a 2H and a 1H + shield and swap between them in battle? That sort of thing.

[capitan Ty-Ty]

no you can't swap 1h/2h. only 1h/1h or 2h/2h. not very usefull skill imo , i have only 1 swordsman who swaps between boosting defence agains fresh enemies and getting 2 AP for killing those w/o armour and lowered health

[capitan Ty-Ty]

if you want to use features of all legendary (purple) weapons and your party is not that big, may be you can try this 'swap' then

[Nasarog]

It's very situational. If you have someone that can fill multiple rolls, than take it. I use it on two different archers, one assassin, and my axeman. It really depends on your weapons and your assigned rolls.

[Muddgutts23]

I found it useful for archers. one set is your purple bow, and other a flaming arrow type if you need it. Or on a Ranger to swap daggers.

[Gregorovitch]

Oh well, chalk it up to the "relentlessly disappointing" column then.

I mean it's not as though I need any more power right now, my team seems to be capable of roflstomping anything the game can throw at me, it's just wanting to play with new toys and all that. Swapping 1H for 2H weapons would be cool. One bow or dagger for another, meh, when my rangers backstab something or my archers shoot something they are as good as dead already and you can't get deader than dead.

Meaning a lot of these special weapons effects are damage over time etc but dead enemies don't bleed, or die again from poison.

Take the pair of weapons you get from Ludern Tomb for example, the bow and the spear. I don't know how good they are in practice 'cos I haven't tried them - it would cost many many thousands of krowns to upgrade them at this point.

But the point is to get them to work you've got to shoot 'em with the one and then skewer 'em with the other for which feat you get 2VP and an attack of opportunity as a bonus

Great....except that if the enemy is already dead after the first shot or stab then for you there is no 2VP bonus nor are there any bonus AoOs on dead bodies. And if they aren't already dead then you are dealing with a seriously under powered weapon. Why take two shots at an enemy when one will suffice?

Meh. I'll just take my mastercrafted rimesteel pike and bow laced with crit oil and have done with it I think. Works every time, no ifs, no buts.
