Torches and Parry?!

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?

Re: Torches and Parry?!

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.

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

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

Re: Torches and Parry?!

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...
