Thrust vs Slash Infiltrators

[old.Jadow]

Wierdus: Yes my PA cap is reached fairly quickly. Thing is though as a saracen inf i'm hardly likely to have the highest PA in the world anyways. I'm all about speed really, at least working on it. Still sorting out a -lot- of my equipment changes (wish Hendrick would get to 50 and start bloody crafting again)

The idea is that I wanted something a bit different. No, I can't hit you like a double decker bus in the same way that Azal can, but nor do I want to. I'm proud of my ability to outmelee just about any tank class (yes boys that includes skalds)

So I sacrifice PA cap for better survivability in a long drawn out fight. Just the way I like to fight.

Saying that, 6 points in PA is like 6X9 damage or something? That's actually only a drop off of 54 points which may seem important, but when you look at the targets a thrust inf -should- be going for, is a sacrifice worth making when compared to repeatable stuns with dragonfang.

I think I'm tired, so that may not make sense

Yes but don't you reach the hardcap on attack speed 1.5 seconds(you can't attack faster then that) with a speed 2.2 sword and wouldn't you reach the hardcap with some weapon that is 2.3 or 2.5? I think you are wasting lots of damage when you reach hard cap anyways.

Sorry if I am still unclear in what I mean.
