So then  "inverse castoring" is circling into the sideswing of an opponent to snatch enough angle to make him bounce? I thought I had the monopoly on making up stupid names for stuff.
Castor was just the first notable player to do it on the NA side of things (a few years ago now - it was before I started playing cRPG), so the name stuck.

Even if you give guys more wpf from agility, a lot is just going to get wasted on armor reduction, and they won't notice any difference except for the few that choose to dress below the armor cap. More wpf from agility also weakens WM, since you'll have enough with 0WM and will sacrifice it for more athletics and agility.

I think wpf reduction from armor should be a linear reduction instead of a %-based reduction. Even in light-medium armor, the wpf reduction of a guy with 160 wpf is more than a 111 wpf strength build in plate, which is pretty ridiculous. This solution is build-neutral, does not increase the wpf cap, and is easy to implement (no respecs required) if one can alter such data.

An extra WM point gives ~9 extra wpf. If 3-4 extra points are getting lost each time due to % based reduction, that just dilutes the skill, especially when the differences in wpf is not that great if you are melee in one weapon type. -30 on an agi build would be -30 to a strength build with the same armor.

Id just like to say that any weapon is spammable in the right circumstances and when ive duelled with a ninja on siege, they cant constant spam me even though im using flamberge.

The 1h steel picks are easier to spam me with than katana's. I always block twice before I attack vs 1h/shield if they're doing their fast swing because I wont be able to get an attack off in time until after the second block.


Nvm its pretty useless for this thread sry
