7PCGamer: I was doing a back of the envelope calculation regarding critical hits. At 55% 1H proficiency I believe we have 80% chance of inflicting atleast 1 critical hit in 2 consecutive swings. Should I be increasing this skill any higher?
zerofk: Since you're at 55 I would recommend going just that bit extra to 60. This will promote you from Fighter to Master which will probably be a nice boost. Alternatively try to find a weapon or other equipment that gives you the extra 5% - there are several in the game.
Note that increasing the skill beyond Master will (iirc) increase the cost, so that's probably not worth it.
Yeah I found that out accidentally.. I was wielding a fine sword so I was more like 50 + 5.. then while trying to lead Diego out of valley of mines, used up all ice block scrolls.. Diego was low on health so I asked him to sit it out.. transformed to dragonsnapper took out 3 wargs and 2 orc warriors, got rid of the transformation and I suddenly noticed that I had a much cooler and professional looking stance .. don't know if it was a bug or an intended side effect of the transformation..But yes my forward slashes at least first 2 steps have become faster and now have a longer reach even side slashes are now apparently quicker.
