Cabalist are my normal hunting spot. In prime currently I can lock everything there, however on Test, this is all I could manage in 30 min of hunting.

Shield: 1126 74% mind lock (34/34)
Light Armor: 1401 22% thinking (5/34)
Chain Armor: 1226 60% understanding (14/34)
Defending: 1423 25% dabbling (1/34)
Parry Ability: 1395 28% dabbling (1/34)
Large Edge: 1281 20% captivated (26/34)
Melee Mastery: 1199 65% absorbing (15/34)
Evasion: 1570 46% dabbling (1/34)

Basically once you get any combats around 1400, it becomes almost impossible to learn.


Also played with cleave a bit, and it seems to be lacking. A normal draw does the same or more damage. Either that or the difference between cleave and draw is so tiny that I don't notice much difference.

You are certain that it could do:
low (3/26) puncture damage
great (11/26) slice damage
somewhat moderate (6/26) impact damage
no (0/26) fire damage
no (0/26) cold damage
no (0/26) electric damage

The hanger is poorly (3/17) designed for improving the force of your attacks.

You are certain that the hanger is decently (6/17) balanced and is reasonably (7/17) suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

Taking stock of its defensive abilities, and attacking with a kertig hanger, you are certain that the Dragon Priest assassin is a creature completely beneath your notice.
If you attacked with a kertig hanger, you are certain that the enemy would train very poorly.

These are first attacks only.

Not sure if any of that is helpful or not, but I had been meaning to play with cleave more anyway.

I spent about 40 hours trying to get multihit to work properly, and eventually gave up. Whirlwind uses a hacky way of doing it that isn't really useful for me to base anything off of.

:nod: I'm running some simulations to try and improve things with them. Might add a wider variation of to their damage to help with armor penetration. Then again, tripling the pulse damage/exp would work just as well.

Wiggle damage from lodged things could defiantly use an increase, if that's what you mean... as well as vit hits from bleeding pulses.

Hmm, Cleave does about 3x the damage of DRAW, and has an OF bonus on top of it :/ I'll have to catch you in game to observe.
