With this maneuver one whirls one&#039;s weapons in the air in circular patterns. Often the weapons move so quickly that the opponent cannot follow both of the weapons and the attacker can get a devastating blow through. This maneuver can also be used defensively. The pattern in which the weapons are moved determines the effectiveness of this maneuver. The maneuver can be a direct attack pattern, or a defensive pattern. Attack patterns are designed to open gaps for your weapons to slip through, defensive patterns on the other hand are used for longer lasting maneuvers that improve one&#039;s defenses in order to attempt a counter strike. The skills &#039;twin weapons&#039;, &#039;defensive patterns&#039;, &#039;offensive patterns&#039; and &#039;bladesinging&#039; improve your performance with this maneuver, as does &#039;improvised combinations&#039;. Note that shields are not considered weapons in this case, and that fast weapons are more effective than slow ones. A list of weapon moving patterns follows. Only rangers are taught multiple patterns, others will only be able to use the &#039;cross&#039; pattern.<br /> <br /> Cross - a simple attack pattern Cat stroke - a fairly simple attack pattern Falling seeds - a moderately difficult defensive pattern. Double cross - a difficult attack pattern Diamond lunge - a difficult defensive pattern Singing blades - an extremely difficult defensive pattern<br /> <br /> Examples: <br /> &#039;battle -m whirling blades at orc with double cross&#039;.<br /> <br /> &#039;use whirling blades at with cat stroke&#039;.<br /> <br /> Rangers can also select a default pattern to use, see the help provided with the guild item for details.<br /> <br /> NOTE: You can use this maneuver with only a single weapon, but with reduced effectiveness.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[category:skills]][[category:ranger skills]][[category:combat maneuvers]]</div>
