Battle Strategies etc.

There was a discussion in global chat today about battle techniques. If everyone could maybe post some battle techniques on this thread that could be useful to other players, please do so. :)

I'll start! It appears not everyone is aware that if you only equip one weapon type, that is the "offense" you will use in a fight. For example, if you only have a bow equipped, you will only hit with pierce.

Other strategies? Please share!

As i know it's not true, if my blunt is higher, even without the weapon, it will hit with blunt.
Or if the difference between attack and def bigger with other weapon type.
Someone else can approve that?

Nina's right (bis) ;)
That's the strategy I use. Really usefull, for exemple, with my bow and the watchmaker.
But as companions don't have weapons, it doesn't work for them (and then, we enjoy the guild's arenas)

Don't want to make things complicated but I just fought the watchmaker with only a bow equipped and got a slashing skillup on my hero (character Rufio). Shouldn't that be impossible? :?

(Loucantar server, skillup message was timed 21:58 UK time if it helps to track it down in the logs...)

Did you fight another boss* just before ? Some up' message take a walk before appearing in game :/ Especially fighting's up.

*or another monster big enough to up slashing

Hmm - I did (wyvern). I thought I only had bow equipped then too (didn't think I attempted any hits with hero in that fight either - was trying to level boar and Yormun, got one for Yormun) but I may be misremembering.

maybe it's not a topic, but,7 days training in lithostadium with a huge monster (deff 56/57/56), no skill up !!! tactics that? The weaker opponents in the arena avoided my attacks. The events are constantly attacking one place. I do not know which tactic to talk then?
