Thread: Martial Arts and number of weapons

    Martial Arts and number of weapons

    How does wielding weapons affect the number of attack bars for a Martial Artist?

    As I understand it, if you wield weapons with "Martial Arts for combined attack", you can get extra attack bars (double and triple wielding).
    If I only use fists, how many weapons will my char use?
    Is there a value of martial arts skill where I start to multi-wield the martial arts item uses as weapon?
    Or is attacks with fists limited to just 1 weapon/attack bar?

    Related, if I start using weapons with "combined martial arts attack", will these attacks replace those with regular fists?
    For example, if I dual wield shen sticks, will this remove any attacks made with fists?

    In my mind, it works like this:
    Only fists = 1 attack bar (1x fist)
    1x shen = 2 attack bars (1x shen + 1x fist)
    2x shen = 3 attack bars (2x shen + 1x fist)

    Is this correct?

    Not exactly.
    Using only fists is like 2 weapons (2 fists)
    1 weapon + fist is like 2 weapons
    2 weapons + having enough MA skill for combined MA attack gives you 3 attacks.

    I started a new MA and I only saw one attack bar.
    I assumed two bars if I was using two fists.

    There is perhaps a MA skill value where I start using both fist (get two attack bars)?

    The OP is right, MA fists count as single weapon with 30 attacks per minute.
    With one weapon you'll get 40 attacks/min = dualwield and then MA speciality triple wield (fists + left/right hand weapon) = 45 attacks/min.
    Equipped weapon must have "combined MA skill" to enable fists use. Without that it works just like any weapon and fists aren't used!
