Is there a weapon redraw with boxing and Broadsword?

To elaborate upon Werner's short-but-sweet response, you will get redraw when using any power (except Brawl and your origin power) that are not expressly within a powerset that uses the weapon in question. This includes powers from your secondary and ancillary power pools. However, if both sets use the same weapon (i.e. TA/Arch Defender), there will be no redraw because you're not changing combat stances (which BABs explains here).

This is supposed to be changed soon I read!

Not quite. Apparently BABs is experiencing some problems with his previously incredible solution, so he's retracted his statements on the matter. It's nice to know he's working on it. I'm kinda curious as to whether Castle is pushing him to find a resolution, or if the removal of redraw is going to require Castle to remove the redraw "bonus" (5% higher base accuracy) from weapon sets.

That redraw bonus was always false/hokey anyway. Claws redraws, but has no accuracy buff. MA doesn't redraw, but has one. DB also redraws without higher base accuracy.


Be well, people of CoH.

The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

Given the nature of the "balance" for that sort of secondary effect, that would seem highly arbitrary of him. Moreover and as already pointed out, several powersets which have redraw requirements lack any such bonus ... claws, DB and Spines all come to mind.
