Summary
- Fencing grants the ability to use fast striking weapons
- All Fencing weapons, including two-handed weapons such as spears, can be poisoned using the Poisoning skill
- The chance to hit with a Fencing weapon is equal to (attacker's fencing skill + 50) / ((defender's weapon or wrestling skill + 50) * 2) plus any relevant accuracy bonuses
- Increases Base Weapon Damage by (25% * Skill / 100) as a secondary weapon skill (when using another weapon skill) in PvM.
- Reduced to Base Weapon Damage by (10% * Skill / 100) as a secondary weapon skill (when using another weapon skill) in PvP.
PvM Special Attack
- Only works against creatures, not other players
- Players have a 10% chance of inflicting a Fencing Weapon Special Attack against creatures
- This chance can be further increased via the Arms Lore Skill, Water Aspect Armor, or Mastery Chain Links.
- Fencing Weapon Specials apply a stackable 8% Cripple Effect with a max effect of 24% on a target
- Fencing Weapon Specials have a Damage bonus of 25% + Player's To Hit Chance % Against Creature (capped at 100% chance to hit) where the To Hit Chance % will factor in the newly applied Cripple effect
- Reduces the target's Defense (chance to avoid Melee Hits) as well as increases the Damage the target takes from Melee-Inflicted Poison (player or creature) and from any form of Disease Damage
Example: An 8% Cripple Effect is applied to a creature
- Attackers that normally had a 50% chance to hit the creature will now have a 58% chance to hit
- Any Players or Player Followers that apply Poison to the target through a Melee attack, will now have their Poison Tick damage against the target increased by 8%
- Any Disease Damage against the target will be increased by 8%
