Torches and Parry?!

Brom · 3rd March 2008, 10:58 PM

I has a question!

I've heard that torches allow for the full Parry bonus, the same as if you were using a shield. Can anyone confirm or debunk this?

The chances are it considers you're parrying with a two handed weapon.
Good question though, might be worth to test it on TC

I don't think anyone ever confirmed it works well though. It would be hard to tell if the parry is from the weapon or the torch.

Torch and carryable candle got full parry bonus yea..

As a RPer as you.. Get Spellchanneling candle of light which wont break.. works as a shield..

Seriously, we can actually use torches as shields?
That rocks!

**Gnomy** · 4th March 2008, 02:49 AM

Yea but they break easily.

Not to worry, since they are stackable, I'll just equip a stack of 300

What about the spell channeling twilight lantern from the halloween gifts?

Could this be where the term "Knock their lights out" came from?

I've not tried it, but if a torch can be used to parry, can it also be used to attack? Fire based damage? Would be really cool to have an angry mob wielding flaming torches chasing someone through town...
