weapon skills vs attack, the end all | Mon Jul 19 21:04:29 2010 MST |
| ok, since there has been alot of talk about wsb vs attack and necro lacking one or the other, I think it'd be best to open up an open forum discussion about weapon skills vs attack. personally I view the topic as somewhat similiar to attack being able to the will to fight, the will to kill, and knowing when/where/how to strike, whereas, weapon skill is more or less being able to hold a weapon properly, being able to swing/jab it, and just in general being able to use it effectively. A prime example of this could be traced back to people using simple swords. many untrained people will attempt to use them as a blunt object, completely ignoring the fact that it's actually a blade and shears much better than it hacks. However, going deeper than that, even if you're completely trained in swordsmanship, that doesn't mean you'll be effective in a fight. Take the nerds for example. They can often be seen with many swords and may know how to handle them, however, in a fight, they lack the will to actually do any harm whatsoever, making their attacks weak and completely ineffective. that is my oppinion on the matter, feel free to discuss |
