Question about secondary?

[Hyroshi]

What does "secondary mode" under the different weapons mean? Thanks for the information! 

[Vexus]

On 2h swords it means it's animations change to polearm and also dealing less damage on swing but more on thrust being able to stop horses (Because they become sort of pole weapons).

Note this means the weapon uses polearm wpf in that mode.

The 1h ones same principle as above but they change to 2h mode using 2h animation and using 2h wpf in that mode.

Hope I was clear enough.

Makes sense... I was wondering why my animation all of a sudden grabbed the sword like a polearm today! Thanks for the information.

Some weapons (especially one handed) also use the secondary mod for changing damages from pierce to blunt for exemple the steel pick.

[Algarn]

or some 1h weaps can be hold like a 2h weap

and 2 handed swords can be hold like polearm

And some throwing weapons can be used in melee mode.
