Hi guys - Yes I'm back again with another request for advise.

It's been.. Oh, I can't count the years since I've had a character that gets 7/8 seconds RT on heavy weapons and, quite frankly it's frustrating - But on a similar note, I'm also frustrated with my learning rate.. So the question I pose, is this...

Should I dump TDPs into agil/str to get a reasonable RT on weapons to increase effectivity in combat? Lock quicker, minimise risk, etc.

Or...

Should I dump my precious TDPs into mentals to increase learning rate? - However, this poses a problem.. Soon I'll be in vipers, then peccs then leucro.. 8 seconds isn't exactly.. Realistic.

Strength : 20 Reflex : 16
Agility : 17 Charisma : 11
Discipline : 15 Wisdom : 14
Intelligence : 12 Stamina : 15

Suggestions? Thank you in advance.

What weapons do you use? You might want to invest in a forged blade created with your stats in mind. Meanwhile, a little more intelligence might help.

Good luck!

What circle are you? What are your primary weapons? What are your skills like, and what do you curently hunt? It's tough to give advice when we don't have the full picture.

I will agree with Ryeka, however. Get yourself light forged weapons, that will help a ton with RT.

I'd put some of those tdps into stamina because of the critters you plan on hunting.

My advise would be to train your physicals till you get to something you can live with. Not necessarily minimum round times, but something that works. Your mentals could use a boost though. However, at this point you should be learning relatively fast anyway. Once your physicals are more manageable, then work on mentals.

Remember to train stamina up before training a lot of strength. Too much strength and not enough stamina will have you exhausted often. I've found it easier to put off mentals for a bit and get the physical stats where you need them to hunt, then to work mentals too much and have a tough time hunting.

Thanks for the response guys even though mine has been a little delayed... Might as well just c/p experience to give you an idea (Radyn)

14th circle:

Heavy Plate: 45 01% clear Parry Ability: 75 56% clear
Multi Opponent: 71 40% clear Light Edged: 43 83% clear
Medium Edged: 68 27% clear Heavy Edged: 51 51% clear
Twohanded Edged: 54 17% clear Light Blunt: 1 98% clear
Medium Blunt: 1 98% clear Large Blunt: 35 05% clear
Twohanded Blunt: 28 44% clear Short Bow: 60 56% clear
Long Bow: 67 46% clear Light Crossbow: 26 66% clear
Light Thrown: 2 30% clear Heavy Thrown: 12 27% clear
Brawling: 27 05% clear Evasion: 67 20% clear
Climbing: 51 39% learning Perception: 55 42% thoughtful
Hiding: 67 07% clear Lockpicking: 27 97% clear
Disarm Traps: 26 24% clear Stalking: 63 84% clear
Stealing: 29 35% clear First Aid: 39 03% clear
Foraging: 38 97% learning Escaping: 8 61% clear
Skinning: 52 37% clear Swimming: 44 08% learning
Scholarship: 22 00% clear Mechanical Lore: 40 79% learning
Appraisal: 40 16% learning Teaching: 17 11% clear
Animal Lore: 24 89% learning Vocals: 1 09% clear

Currently in blood wolves, soon to make transition into vines/creepers then move onto vipers etc.

Learning rate at the moment is terrible, comparing the same ranks to my main character, with obviously considerably more mentals, but it's almost as if I level at the same rate as my main.

Stuck between rock and hard place.. Increase potential for minimal learning rise, or decrease weapon RTs..Hmm..

Any advice appreciated..

Forget some of those extra weapons. That will help circling rate tremendously.

Blood wolves should work great till the transition to creepers. You've got your chain figured out well.

Oops, that bit didn't get posted - Silly me.

Shield Usage: 54 54% clear Leather Armor: 42 29% learning
Light Chain: 67 25% thoughtful Heavy Chain: 61 16% learning

And what would you recommend on an armour set? perfect leathers, HC gloves and LC balaclava? Or switch and change to maximise learning?
