How fast are you ?

Out of curiosity, what is your athletics goal ?

I read somewhere that the average is 6.5, but I haven't found any hard numbers to support that.

Only a four here, you don't need much agility in a thrower build.

Then how do you flee ? :) Because if you are a thrower, you must be familiar with that.
And don't say that you switch then to your melee weapon, because you said you don't need agility.
And how do you aim correctly without wpf ? Or no need for throwing ?!

An average of 6.5 is unrealistic, it would mean a lot of people have 8+ ath and they dont :). You need at least 4, 5 is decent, 6 is good. I only went for 7 ath once and the difference between 6 and 7 is too small to worth it.

yeah, I cant notice any difference between ath 6 and 7 UNLESS I want to go full plate. 5 is ok.

Going higher than 7 imo is useful only if you plan to use heavy armor to still be fast.

6 is enough even in heavy armor

you stab, I dodge, I jump in your face, you are dead.
I would say 0 is enough if you have über high damage and very good blocking skills.

Yeah, you are right, my blocking skills are only mediocre, and so I die often in 1vs1 situations. I don't think this would be much better with 1 or 2 in ATH, so I put all in STR instead. The deaths in 1vs1 are offset by many kills in group situations, such that I can usually manage at least a 2:1 KDR.

When you cant block very well then you can use footwork to dodge hits. In your case it might be better to max your athletics when you dont block good.

Prepatch I had 8 ath. By that time I could kill an enemy mob of 10+ players, just by running in and out, slashing in random directions. But that's (well, I think it's better that way) not possible anymore.

The only classes that can really survive with low athletics are either pure cav lancer (I'm being dehorsed too often as cav to not invest points in ath), or some weird uber roof sniper, or a pure str/crushtru build. Pikeman is maybe the class needing the most athletics, because you'll have to flee very fast if your mates are killed.

I've seen some people that have very low athletics, still managing to make very good kills in melee situations. I really don't know how they do that.

Add possiblity to remove your vote and option to vote again. I am going for 10 athletics, not 9.

Also, it should be MOVED to General Discussion.

=((1*1)+(2*3)+(4*6)+(5*3)+(6*23)+(15*7)+(8*8)+(9*3)+(10*2))/73
=5.48

Looks like the average is 5.48, I guess people are slower then what I though.  :D

4 or 8. Everything else doesn't seem to be needed.
