Description

This talent improves your ability to parry when wielding a greatsword, bastard sword, katana, falchion or non-ethereal darkblade two-handed. All two-handed techniques (which are normally coloured cyan when wielding the weapon in two hands) providing a parry defence will have their Defence bonuses increased by +10, and gain the ability to parry paired weapon attacks. In addition, your defence cooldown will be reduced by 2 when wielding one of the aforementioned weapons two-handed. This talent also allows you to perform a counterattack against double attacks.
