Probably already asked but one about weapons...

[Gabrial]

Im thinking of retraining my armsman from 2H weapon to 1H and shield type. Before you all start shouting "Gimped!" dont

What I need to know is what stats do each weapon types use? For example, I seem to remember hearing that 2H weapons use str? My problem is that I put loads of points into str and hardly any into dex when I rolled the char

 

[tris-]

slash, pole, hammer = str
thrust = dex

(?)

 

[Gabrial]

I dunno why but I though slash was 50% dex, 50% str

So did i, but according to my thread about crap damage, someone says its got nothing to do with dex.

 

[bellious]

It's slash str and thrust dex

The problem i got is i use a thrust polearm, so is that str/dex???

 

[Gabrial]

OK - maybe I'll go slash then as I maxed my Str over my Dex. Am I right in thinking Crush is Str aswell? i may go for a Crush shield armsman.

Polearm = 75% Str / 25% dex

I might be wrong on the numbers, its 11.40am and I havent slept all night
But it is a combo of Str and Dex for poles.

 

[old.mattshanes]

I think dex effects any weapon like any rpg really.

 

[old.Krusha]

i dunno about Poles, but Hunter spears are 50/50 str/dex no matter the dmg type (you can choose different dmg outputs) maybe poles work in a similar fashion, like the mentioned 75/25 but im betting on 100% str .
But thrust weapons is 50/50 str/dex and slash is 100% str, dex only affects defensive stuff like parry/block/evade tho some also uses qui in the equation.

 

[SoulFly Amarok]

Poles = str
slash / crush = str
2handed THRUST = 75%str 25%dex
thrust = 50%dex/50%str

I'm quite sure about those.

yep sounds about right I think

 

[old.mattshanes]

I got the feeling crush is 75% str 25% dex seem to hit more now my dex is higher,just a thought though it could be how you said who knows

 

[Tranquil-]

Crush is 100% Strength.

Where did you find that?

 

[Lam]

There is 1 big exception on the crush = str thing and those are Friar staves, they do crush damage but are purely dex based.

I know it. Heh.

And I quote:

What you have to consider is how the damage is actually calculated: Crush and Slash is based on strength, so Britons and Highlanders are a bit better with these than Avalonians and Saracens. Thrust is based on 50% dex and 50% str, which means that each race has the same potential here.

 

[Nalikin]

Crush afaik is 100% str

Dex and quick will affect attack speed / parry and block

 

[Gabrial]

OK - had some points left so trained my shield as high as I can until respec comes (about 12 I think). My slash is on 19 and I seem to come out of fights with yellows just as if I was using my 2H axe as before so it seems pretty sweet! Thanks for the advice guys!

 

[old.Jadow]

Heh you really should respec to 2handed thrust. Very very nasty to middies (who we all know are the -real- enemy)

 

[Gabrial]

I was tempted into going thrust but I have not got a high dex (in fact, I put all my start points into strength when i rolled my char )

 

[old.Hendrick]

I know it. Heh.

It feels so nice knowing that someone actually read this guide

 

[liste]

also, it seems you are unaware, but in albion, you have to spec BOTH 2handed AND base weapon type.

the 2h spec affects your upper damage cap, and gives you styles.
Slash affects your minimum damage, ensuring a higher average damage/swing. same goes for polearms.

 

[old.SadonTheGrey]

I think waving my arms about like an idiot should use dex and str too

 

[liste]

no. only lack of int. the more you have, the less idiotic will your arm waving be.


Some races are better suited for this, obviously

 

[Yussef]

Also this might seem odd but:

Shields = 100% dex

And some albs are miserable bastards who don't emote at all on the slightest thing
