Help Index :: World :: Nets Nets are damageless (or low damage) weapons that fall under the whip weapon class. While these weapons are not primarily offensive, they can provide some defensive bonuses, primarily that of briefly occupying the opponent during combat. Despite this benefit they have their drawbacks - using nets effectively requires skill and nets are often easily damaged, even known to break all-together during combat. Most nets are used as offhand items, though there may be some exceptions.
