    Straps on H2H

    So I just equipped a strap to bare hands and it made it act like a single wielded weapon.

    What I did was to equip the strap while wearing my scythe, then I changed jobs, put the scythe in my locker, change jobs back and the strap would automatically be equipped.

    sadly it doesn't seem to make H2H act like a 2handed weapon ;P (I think lol. Feel free to prove me wrong).
    I don't have any h2h weapon to equip to see if you can use straps for e.g. destroyers.
    Not that it would be any good anyways. Doing this made me lose all the h2h weapon skills. Just fun!

    Just like wearing a shield in the same slot.

    Actually DRK only punches with one hand unless they're /MNK. It looks hilariously retarded.

    Can equip shield and punch with one hand too.


    Could be interesting for mnk if the stun grip works (not sure what's the proc rate at high attack speed), but beside that, I don't see any point to it.

    probably cancels martial arts trait and makes the punch a non-skill based attack of pure fail as if the job had no h2h skill to begin with

    Confirms that it reverts it to a 1 handed swing, even on monk (uses standard H2H delay it seems) but accuracy is apparently calculated using a void weapon skillset. Single punch whiffathon on a lesser colibri outside Aht Uragan.

    Kinda funny, if you think about it. You're a Martial Artist master, seeing all your hip and cool friends putting these straps on their wrists to increase their strength and accuracy, so you follow suit, and promptly suck balls at punching something in the face.

    Thought you put the straps on the grips of your weapon.

    Finally people don't need to bother with relic knuckles to get really low guard skill up.
