Weapon Master - 2 handed

[rustyspoon]

Weapon master gives you wpf which  adds damage and speed into added branch of weapons.
I don't see any reason to reject extra speed and damage .

Except that the speed is barely noticeable and you get more damage by going PS instead.

[Lysander]

At first, thanks for all the great answers, opinions and views!!

If this is the case, then why bother asking whether or not weapon master is useful? It seems like you made your decision before the discussion even began, Lysander.

I'm atm lvl 31, and will be soon at 32, with agi build and high wm. But I'm thinking of retire (or maybe respec), cause I'm not sure if high wm was a good decission. So maybe convert 6 of my wm points to strenght, and give 1 wm point to PS. Or dont change the strenght, and put 5 wm points into IF. Or convert 6 wm points to agi and take 1 point more ath...

But I dont see sense in more str, since I kill most of others with 2 hits. IF would be an option, or more ath.

But I'm not sure what to do, so I thought, I will ask this lovely comunity. And now I'm totaly uncertain again...

make a stf alt and try a build without any wm, seeing how it works.

you can still make a high agi char, but beef him up with some IF or maybe throw a few points into shield to use against archers.

I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised with your re-allocation of skill points.

Shush Shine! Don't let them catch onto our secret!

Nab Ammurricans I visited your str/no wm/no skill servers yesterday. And oh boi it was worse than EU_1 when it comes to ranged. EU_1 is a melee server compared to that. So many arrows flying that atleast I got crazy fps drop. Maybe it is something ping related since my horse was teleporting, but many others were having those lags too. So there I played cavalry as usual. I got dehorsed more because of the damned ranged everywhere while having these lags and 150 ping. But to the subject. At times I was easilly able to fight and kill many of the guys who were ganking me after dehorsing. Heavy armored and slow people chasing me like zombies. Yes they get me eventually because in 10 vs. 1 it's usually the case, but I was surprised how many I was able to kill before I had run out of space and couldn't outsmart my opponents with footwork and desperate blocking with that ping and lag (notice that I'm cavaly and I was still running faster)

True, I admit defeat; you caught me!

Weapon master is by far the superior option when creating a build.  My devious plots to convince others that IF and Shield are better investments is for naught!

Well played.

I never tried out a 0 WM build myself, but everytime i go to an US-Server i can spam all the str-2handers down with my mw flamb (87 speed; 18/24 build with 174 2h proficiency) although i run around with 170ping.
I think IF is good against archers, but if you dont have such a retarded unsheatable weapon like me its better to put some points into shield skill as polearm/2h instead of IF.
As two hander i would always max out atletics/wm/ps, if youve points left i would rather spend them in shield skill than in IF, maybe riding if you want to be able to flee out of critical situations by whistling a pony to u

21/18
7 IF
7 PS
6 ATH
3 WM
