Northern hewing and DD stance
Quick question, probably to m3nt, or anyone else who has the answer - Does Northern Hewing work while a Dwarven Defender is in his stance? I think I heard somewhere that (Improved) Power Attack doesn't work, just wondering about N.H.?

Re: Northern hewing and DD stance
NH works with any combat modes, defensive stance is one of those so it'll work.

Yes, unlike 'vanilla' combat modes (power attack, defensive casting, combat expertise, defensive stance), custom server combat modes can be used at the same time as any of the above. Toggling them does not disable other active 'vanilla' modes.

Re: Northern hewing and DD stance
And just to make sure there is no misunderstandings, you can use Northlander Hewing together with Defensive Stance, Combat Expertise, Improved Combat Expertise, Power Attack, or Improved Power Attack.AC81 wrote:Quick question, probably to m3nt, or anyone else who has the answer - Does Northern Hewing work while a Dwarven Defender is in his stance?

You cannot use Defensive Stance, Combat Expertise, Improved Combat Expertise, Power Attack, or Improved Power Attack with each other.
As for using Northlander Hewing together with some of the other custom 'combat mode' - those will not work, well, or at all.

Re: Northern hewing and DD stance
Northern hewing and one weapon should work together though? Seems a good fit to me.

Re: Northern hewing and DD stance
Haven't tried that... so don't know... But Northlander Hewing does not really work with things that add extra attacks, such as Torchfighting...

It works with PTWF, not sure it should though.

So... 12 attacks * 2/3... = 8 attacks. 6 With your mainhand, 2 with your off hand.
