Slash 50 on an alb class

[Jobil]

Having 50 Slash should allow you to penetrate your opponents defences more regularly, allow Slam to land more often and result in higher style damage...but the total damage won't be a massive amount more than with the effective 51 (39+11+RR2).

HTH.

this is what wyrdd try to disprove, his whole argument goes on something being wrong with the displayed WS on your char sheet. so defence penetration is the same as long as base weapon spec is 50 total (39+11, 36+14 and so on).
but its a matter of faith as its close to impossible to test unless you have more sparetime than i want to hear about
