Hey, Saucy here. Just have a couple questions about Grip Plus.

GRIP PLUS.
A skill that governs the use of a 2-handed weapon in one hand for versatility, allowing them to hold a shield in Off-Hand. Players with this skill are allowed to treat the weapon as if it were 1-handed, allowing for them to use Sword Arts which require the 1-handed equivalent. Naturally, there is also a slight passive boost in the user's grip of 2-handed weapons, making it more difficult for a player to have their weapon knocked away by a strong impact.

So first off, does a player lose speed or power when wielding a two handed weapon with one hand?

The slight passive boost to the grip of two-handed weapons... Does that apply when using two hands or one hand? (Like is it only more difficult to knock the weapon away when he has two hands on it?)

Finally, if a player gains the ability to wield a two-handed weapon with one hand, shouldn't he naturally be more able to wield it better with two hands? Like more power or more speed or something? Cause if one of my hands has become strong enough to wield a two handed weapon with one hand I'd feel like the weapon would feel extremely easily to handle with two.

Thanks in advance for your patience and possible responses!

If you normally tried to wield a 2H weapon with one hand, although theoretically you'd be able to fight with it, it'll come with damage/speed penalties. With Grip Plus, this penalty is removed and you'd be able to swing it around at the normal speed of a weapon of that size.

Passive grip boosts apply as long as you're holding the weapon, so it doesn't matter whether you have the weapon in one or two hands. However, if you hold it with both hands, your grip strength will essentially be doubled. This applies similarly with Grip Focus as well, as having 2 hands to hold the weapon will increase the player's grip.

As for more mastery when wielding it the usual way, it's a little hard to do that without going into stats. I would say that the extra grip of the weapon caused by gripping the weapon with both hands will theoretically raise your strength/speed a little, but not very noticeably.
