Crossbow / melee hybird Weapon profeciency

How much WFP is enough for 2h weapons and Crossbowing?

To shoot an arbalest at full damage / full speed.

and swing 2h weapons at full speed / full damage.

Crossbow WPF doesn't affect your damage.

Only upkeep/reload speed/accuracy.

2handers, well every melee weapon needs about 100 effective wpf, to get the stats you see on the website.

Alright, thanks. Doing the 15/24 build, maybe I'll go 130 / 130 wfp

Well if you go 15/24, why not pump way more into the crossbow?

You can wear light armor, get some blunt/pierce sidearm.

Let's say you do a 170/50 Crossbow/melee wpf split.

You'll have great accuracy, and with 8 ath you can pick your spots effectively.

120 is enough for 2h.

Because I'll be using Arbalest (Masterwork) with steel bolts, which is already extremely accurate. Hell even at 1 wfp the arbalest is somewhat accurate, I think 130 / 140 should be enough.

Mainly I want wfp in melee because I'll be using a Mace +3 (1 slot 2h) and I want the speed / damage of the weapon to be at it's maximum effectiveness, combined with high athletics I'll be able to close the distance in a hurry (weapon length 70), I could do some sharp unexpected turns, knock someone down with the mace and finish em off with high speed blows (98 speed on the mace).

120 sounds good, or some people say 100..? Just trying to make the most of the weapon speed. Speed on a mace could mean a knockdown, which sets off an easy kill.

Does extra wfp above 100 give a slight speed boost or nah?

First sticky on this board..

Alright, got it, thanks for the link, seems like 100 - 110 is the sweet spot for 2h

More wfp for the X-bow due to the armor weight wfp reduction.
