DOUBLE GRIP

General
DOUBLE GRIP
Syntax: double
Syntax: double <weapon>

Many professions have the ability to wield weapons using both hands.  
Warriors however, in their endeavor to develop differing techniques
stumbled upon the advantage of using only one weapon.  Grasping a weapon
with both hands allows a warrior to use the weapon with greater stability, 
obtaining greater control.  While double gripping a weapon, a warrior would 
be able to do more damage than he/she would using only one hand while making 
them harder to disarm.  Due to the nature of this technique only certain 
types of weapon may be gripped with two hands.  Staffs and polearms which 
already require the use of both hands can still apply this technique to gain 
greater stability.  Using double grip without a syntax will double grip the 
weapon you are wielding.  Double with a name and you'll wield the weapon from 
your inventory to wield and doublegrip. 

Note that while double gripping a weapon you still require the "two handed"
skill to control your weapon efficiently.
