Say if I was specced 50 pole, 50 thrust, 28 parry (or whatever it is). How much difference to damage would it make if I capped thrust as well as polearm on meh SC?

thrust above 50 does make a very very slight differance.

One more thing, quickness. Any point in capping quickness?
That's what I thought. So... basically... capping thrust isn't important, capping quickness isn't important. That makes a SC template pretty easy.Originally posted by Kagato.
No
I capped quickness on my first SC template and hated it, there was virtually no noticeable speed increase between swing times and the damage reduction WAS noticeable, I don't remember the exact numbers but I did a fair amount of testing on damage caps before and after.
I since made a new spellcraft template with no quickness at all and much prefer it. Swing speed is still virtually the same and the damage increase is noticable.
Also having no quickness is one more thing you do not have to cap on your template, so you can cap your other stats and resistances easier (and get some of that thrust you wanted). As having only one single two-handed weapon does mean you have 1 less item to use to cap things with.

Assuming a 6.0 spd weapon... Highlander with no quickness at creation.
With no +Qui (50), you're swinging at 6.12 seconds.
With +75 Qui (125), you're swinging at 5.22 seconds.
With +75 Qui from SC and +93 (?) from buffs (221), you're swinging at 4.104 seconds.
Now, if that 2 second reduction in attack delay isn't noticeable, what is? 5 seconds?

Rather than starting a new thread I thought I would post this related issue here.
What are the reasons for an armsman to have high Dexterity while wielding a Thrust Polearm?
Only reason I see is to increase the chance of parrying. And I never parry anyway, and if I need to go defensive I shift to shield/sword.
So, given that you can max your dexterity while wielding shield/sword you could put those imbue points into quickness if you like.
