Swordsman Archive

I'm looking to buy a crate of power hammers as I'm rapidly approaching novice swordsman again (dropped it to go holo-chasing, what a fool I was), but I'm not sure what the best stats to look for are;

I have three power hammers on me now, 2 from before and 1 new one, one is sliced for speed and has a 3.6 or something delay, the second is sliced for damage and does 150-550 or something without power up, both have -30 accuracy, the third was put together for me recently and is 115-446 5.7s 115/37/25 -7/-7/-8 pre-slice, which I think is pretty good, I'm probably going to get a crate of these and then get them sliced, but do you reckon I should get him to try to change any of those stats ? If so which ones ?

If I have a 5.7 delayed hammer, how much skill (+tapes, whatever) do I need to be able to get close to the speed cap ?

u need +82 speed mod to get it at minimum spd which is 1s

so if u get to master swordsman u need +7 spd enhancing tapes or plates to get minimum

and if u get master brawler u need +2

I will certainly be going master swordsman again, how hard is it to get hold of +7 tapes ?

Master Brawler isn't really an option as I want to retain master doctor and I don't really PvP all that much anyway.
