TWC and parasite weapons

[Orthin]

I have a feeling I know the answer. But can anyone confirm if it is possible to dual wield parasite weapons. I’m guessing since the things are all glove worn save UAC gear that it’s a big fat no

I thought they were wrist worn, save UAC, which consumes the glove spot *in addition* to the wrist spot or the foot spot *in addition* to the ankle slot.

Sorry does this mean you can produce multiple copies from the same gloves? or have 2 sets of parasite gloves to summon each with?

Yes it's definitely possible. I've done it.

The healing mechanics are perfect for TWC

Pretty sure this isn't the case.

Well if that’s the case trading a level 93 pally for 30k BS haha (also serious)

I guess you could quadruple wield them if you really wanted? 2 uac weapons, gloves, and boots?

If it is only wrist-worn, then you wont be able to have 2 UAC weapons + gloves, since you won't be able to wear 3 functional wrist items. You'd be able to triple wield with a UAC weapon, UAC gloves, and boots.

Also, the off-hand weapon for UAC is generally of little benefit and only tanks your MM (while also dividing the flare chance), so it would be more effective to just keep it to a single weapon in the main hand.

This would cause you to half the flare rate for each weapon (glove + weapon) while keeping the full flare rate on the boots.

probably just want to parasitic uac gloves /boots then I would imagine, also no risk of being disarmed that way

Someone is selling parasite boots right now, and they are called "bracers", so I do still think they consume a wrist slot in addition to the foot slot. That is some opportunity cost for no good enhancive wrist worn, as compared to other UAC options
