Soory to ask.


But I have 85 in speed now, whats the speed on powerhammer I need to cap please


It's not possible. I'm working with +84 in speed and I'd need a 1.9 speed hammer to cap—my FastHammer is a 33% speed slice hammer and it's still a 3.6 speed. There's no way you can cap a powerhammer at +85 speed.

Most of the universe's problems can be solved by the application of a brick to the side of the right head.
The problem is if you don't have a big enough brick or can't find the right head. The devil is in the details.

One thing worth noting:

A lot of the cap calculations here have been for 2handhit3, the master attack.

If you're after hitting the cap, I'd recommend going for the cap on headhit3 instead, as its a faster attack, concentrates on one pool only, and does excellent damage too.

Master Swordsman: headhit3 speed cap with a speed 1.6 weapon (can get 2-hand curved swords to this with a very nice slice).

Master Brawler+Master Swords: headhit3 speed cap with a speed 2.0 weapon.

Speed skill is a direct % off the time. So Speed +75 (master) means you swing the weapon at 25% of its quoted speed, when not using specials. Then multiply by the special's modifier (2.5x for headhit3) to see what you swing at.

Your order of operations is backwards—multiply weapon speed by special delay then apply the personal speed modifier.

As long as you apply the cap last, it doesn't matter what order you do the computations in (a*b = b*a).
