Remove weapon cooldown if you haven't done any damage

[DeadlyPencil]

Please change it so that if you have not dealt damage while in combat, you should be able to freely switch weapons without a penatly (this prevents you from punching a guy, then swaping to b12 to avoid cooldown penalty). The cooldown penatly at the moment favors the attacker, and the noobs get the short stick.

There have bee na few times i have gotten caught with a shovel in hand or bucket, and it would be nice to be able to switch to my sword without having to sit there and wait for some cooldown to disappear

Swap weapons before aggroing the target. Make a hotkey out of it.

This won't help while mining.

OP specifically mentioned being attacked and how it favors the aggressor only.

Not sure how one can swap weapons before aggroing someone that you don't want to attack, but ok..

I don't agree with how long of a cooldown it gives you, 10 seconds or whatever it is currently is very punishing. Getting caught with you pants down so to speak should be a thing, but being brutally beaten before you can get your weapon out? Not sure if that's a good mechanic.

Sure, but i'm usually running away till i get to a better position to fight when I get mobs spawning on me.

If you haven't done any move I could agree with, not damage

Slimes/boreworms spawn on you while mining would you just stand there taking the hits and letting your opening raise while you wait for the weapon swap cooldown? I mean you probably don’t perform any industry activities in this game at all let alone mining so nevermind.

Stand there taking the hits?
You dumb or what Kaios?

This change would allow you to switch weapon the moment it happens , after which you can just defend.

Should still always be running 4 speed in opposite direction so that doesn't change either just the cooldown.

I don't want to have shenanigans of weird decks that create openings without doing damage and then some script quickly switch and cleave or whatever.

So yeah just to prevent any thing in that direction, feel this would fit better.

But sure if you're an afk wanker and you get high opening first then maybe you have some issue

Just remove this cooldown in pve encounters.
But this cooldown in any pvp encounter is fine, when you are aggroed you can run for some time from your attacker while your are waiting for a cooldown.
