Drum isnt supposed to work without dual wielding maces. But you can drum if primary gets disarmed. Thought it was buggy.

You can't drum, but you can try and be evaded.

Not a bug.

Actually, it is a bug. Or better to say... is a side affect of implementation that you choose to leave in the game.
It's doesn't make sense trying to drum (or any other similar skill) if you aren't even wielding a mace.
I guess it is "BY DESIGN" for balance purposes? Or just because it's a pain to implement it more reallistically?

It is the way the skill was designed, and to change it basically means rebuild the ENTIRE combat system.

Leaving it this way IS a huge pain in the ass, and is an unfair advantage to all these dexy bastards running around. Essentially you get punished for trying to do something you can't even do. By "punished," I'm referring to the fact that you take on the lag of the ability that was evaded.

Don't spam ####, and you'll rarely, if ever, run into this.
