[Shujin]

Well I noticed that wasn't a thing during an RP where I was RPing holding back, so I took off my fist weapon and kept a bokken in the sub hand, to lower my overall damage. But then I noticed I can't use MA skills which just came strange to me. I mean knowing that I could probably have gotten mixed martial arts and mained the bokken, but it still strikes me as weird since it should work as a mainhand barefist weapon in my opinion even without the skill.

Another thing that is bothering me is, when I have a Fist weapon like Fist of the Giant in the main hand, and turn ambidexterity on, that I can't use my barefist even with mixed martial arts with a glove item. Sometimes I just want to use Geldoren with my barefist, to close distance without pushing my enemy 5 kilometer away, to combo up.

TL;DR
I am not trying to min max, I am doing the opposite.
