Well, i recently had started and outdated thread. I pretty much for the hang of the game now and understand all the skills and how the help. HOWEVER, my playing style has changed from the last time. my Current skills are:

100 anat (locked)
100.1 Bushido (Going to 110)
46.5 Chivalry (Going to 70)
100.1 Fencing (Going to 110)
100 Healing (Locked)
100.1 Resist (Going to 110)
100.2 Tactics (Going to 110)

I think that leaves me with like 10 extra points that i will eventually put into fencing when i can afford the scroll. My problem is, i don't use a long spear anymore. i find it much easier to use a kryss or war fork and chug pots if need be. I find it works amazing for DP dexxers and works pretty well in factions. So my question is... is their a reason to have bushido anymore? Will it give me more HCI? DCI? DI? Will be kinda mad if it servers no purpose now but oh well. If it serves no purpose i would prob pick up poisoning.

Since you don't have parry, bushido pretty much only provides you with lightning strike, Perfection damage bonus (PvM), and Honorable execution. If you PvP, lightning strike is pretty much all you get, which means that when you use it you get 45% HCI and a chance of a critical hit which bypasses armor, resulting in a max of 35 damage as I recall.

Changing weapon from a two-hander to a one-hander has virtually no effect on you since you don't have parry in the first place.

someone told me with bushido i can use a 2 handed weapon almost as a one. meaning say i have a short spear in my hand, i could also drink a pot? is that true?

no that is not true, the only way you can drink a pot with a 2 handed weapon is if it is a balanced bow. Unfortunately there arent any balanced non-archery weapons, that would be awesome if they did make those tho.

lol
balanced 2 handed meelee weap would be funny

Hey, put your spear in one hand while you uncork a bottle in your other hand, it works!

There's been a call before: let us staff wielders drink potions without dropping the weapon, just reset the swing timer.
