"Use best weapon"

Question; Weapons with the "use best weapon" on them.
I thought that meant that a swordsman could use a fencing
weapon with "use best weapon". I must be wrong, because
when I tried it, I could not hit anything with the fencing
weapon.

It should work, except for bows, which I think are still bugged...Mind you,
I swish half the time with a sword at Elder status, so who knows??

My character is an Elder Swordswoman. I went out and killed a bull
with the kryss, and did fine, but when I took it to the dungeon the
Earth Elemental just beat on me while I "tried" to hit it. Had me to
half life when I changed to the sword and killed the thing.

I really wanted to try this kryss. Its a bronze enhanced
with "Hit Stamina Leech 20%
Hit Lighting 20%
Damage increase 5%
Physical Resist 9%
Physical Damage 60%
Fire Damage 40%
Weapon Speed 53

LOL, I just saw the problem. I picked up the wrong kryss. This one
does not have "Use best weapon" on it. Well, I know I have one in there
that does. Back to the drawing board. *grin*

Anyone want a good bronze enhanced kryss? On to the vendor with
this one.

Thanks for the offer, but I found the bronze one that I thought I had.
It has about the same proprieties this one has. I really like the swords
with life and/or Stamina Leech on them.
