Disarm Mechanic Request 08/26/2016 12:48 PM CDT

Ok, let me start by saying I LOVE this mechanic. It's ridiculously fun.

That being said, is there any chance it could be changed slightly so the weapon is replaced into the hand it was taken from? This isn't a huge issue for people who use regular weapons but bows (and I suspect runestaves) end up in the right hand instead of the left hand. A bit of a problem when you've got a swam of 6+ mobs in a room and you're frantically trying to halve that number. =p

It it's working as intended, gravy... I just thought I'd ask!

seems to be working as intended if you view the last 2 pages of the folder.

While I haven't hunted there, as VANKRASN39 said, this is WAI. It is just as much of issue for people who use regular weapons, because those end up in your left hand. From the other thread:

Yeah, maybe you people have been using bows for so long that you forgot this, but a weapon or runestaff user having the weapon returned to the wrong hand is devastating for our DS. It hurts us just as much.

Hmnm. . . It almost sounds like sword and board has the advantage here. . .

Or does it sheathe the weapon for them? either way, I guess they have most of their defense still. Would be funny if it forced a swap before the return.

If you've trained in brawling (weapon users), THW (bow users), or blunts (crossbow users), you'd also be covered. Not a terrible post-cap goal to at least 1x that skill if you're going to hunt there on the regular, I suppose.

edit:

THW for bow users because bows are wielded as quarter staves in the right hand. Blunts because crossbows are cudgels.

Preeeeetty much only saw the guy complaining about dying and being offered a solution, so I thought it was worth asking.

Also, I didn't realize they were tossing other weapons in the wrong hand as well. That clarifies it as a devious, evil tactic of hilarity and not an oversight. So thank for that, Pflats and Khariz555! =)
