Mastery

  • Grants the chance to land double hits.


Properties

  • This skill will unlock weapon attributes that require Sword Weapons skill (like "Attack speed (Sword Weapons)).
  • The bonuses from this skill are replaced by the similar ones from Dual Wield, if you have both skills. This is only the case if you actually equip two weapons.
  • "Item Level Without Penalty" reduces the speed penalties for equipping high-level weapons, it doesn't allow equipping weapons above certain threshold (which depends on character level)


Breakpoints

  • Item level without penalty is increased by one for every two skill points spent, starting at character level value. It is capped at 250.


The Attack Value bonus at a given skill level x is given fairly precisely by the following formulas:

  • 400*(x+1.5)/(x+100) Pre-Mastery
  • 600*(x-32.5)/(x+66) Mastery

The Attack Speed bonus at a given skill level x is given fairly precisely by the following formulas:

  • 80*(x+1.5)/(x+100) Pre-Mastery
  • 120*(x-32.5)/(x+66) Mastery

The bold marked numbers are the smallest upper bounds of this progression, which will never at any skill level be exceeded.

As an example, attack value at x=75: 75 is the first mastery level, so we take the mastery formula and we have

600*(75-32.5)/(75+66) = 600*42.5/141 = 180.85

This value compared with the table value is a good example of the precision the formulas offer.

Types

Sword weapons consist of:

  • Swords
  • Bastard Swords - animation speed same as swords at equivalent attack speed.
  • Daggers - animation speed about 25% faster than swords at equivalent attack speed.
  • Sabers - animation speed same as swords at equivalent attack speed.
  • Short Swords - animation speed about 15% faster than swords at equivalent attack spee.
  • Two Handed Swords - animation speed about 5% slower than swords at equivalent attack speed.
