Held item usage

This has been screwing me up so badly lately. I'm punching because of held weapons blocking a weapon draw. Can't use em while two weapons are held.... Just missed out on something because my damn weapon was sheathed because of a held item.

So... How do you all deal with the held item madness? What types of aliases do you use?

I had been using a sheath, hold item, use item, draw. But the draw part doesn't seem to be reliable, though I can't put my finger on when its failing to work properly.

I suppose I can replace the draw with a remove item, draw. Just wondering how the rest of you do things.

Everything is fine when you wield a two-handed weapon. It's just when you use a weapon and a shield that you get screwed up if you are attacked while sheathed and holding an item, and start punching instead of drawing your weapon. I just remove the item and then draw. One extra command, but what can you do, eh?

Hehe, a lot like the doublesheath bug! More work to be done!

Someone has been whooping my tail lately with a held item, shield, and holy hands! Smart combo!

Yes, that is a "recent" change to holy hands. Making Squids, Battlemages and Holy Hands Clerics the only classes worth using a offensive-Wand or a treasure.

Hoo and Healers. But Healers don't count.

sheath; hold item; use item; rem item; draw

sheath; hold item; use item; rem item

This is what I use. I leave the draw out, since it happens automatically.

This is what I use. I leave the draw out' date=' since it happens automatically.[/quote']

I won't argue about and why the draw is there. You're the melee kinda player

isnt there a parry penalty if your weapon is sheathed going into that 1st round?

Always seemed slightly that way to me Kyz.

And a counter penalty Im sure.

not to mention that... Just set up a trigger/alias for it.

Thats how I started whooping Wyslign's butt.. Commands to buff me inbetween rounds of combat like:

F7 Macro =

shea

wear staff

use staff

draw

Happy sanctuary.

I always draw my weapon.

and use alias' similar to what Aulian suggested. I also use such alias' on all my melee charactrs to get potions, or curatives from my bag too.

I would think these have become quite common, like the insane weapon swapping strings you have to write when playing a giant.
