got a few questions, i have seen similar responces before to some questions i have, but long story short, ima ask some again, heh.

First off, i am REALLY liking swordsman. I came to the proff to hunt krayts, since i learned about how armorraitings effects players hits(this opend my eyes, next i need to learn about range mods, heh), i finally saw that i couldnt be a tkm and take krayts. At lesat without anyone stealing my kill while i spend 50 minutes hitting it. I am totally done grinding(yes really) and short of major changes to swordsman, will stay one for a long time. I use 3 swords now, a curved(2.6 speed 305 max, forgot min, plus im missing it....really odd). I then have 2 power hammers with acklay bones(the 7x/96 or so ones) which i am proud to say got a 30 dmg slice and 29 speed on other(this comes from a person who got6 speed slices in a row on vibro knucklers made with nyms loot...so i consider myself very lucky, heh) max on one is 673 sp is high, 5.5. servers down so i cant check stats exactly. and today got 3 yellow cubes so i get the sword i cant spell, but cant wait for it. And i am a mast doc/sword

to the questions:

1.speed & tapes- while getting over 6k mind hits at times is really very nice, the speed just kills me(especailly from being a tk so long). I cant get mast brawler, so i guess im down to skill tapes:

a) a sword needs a speed of 4.0 with only master sword to hit one per sec. will i special also at one per sec like i would if i had a speed of 100 instead of 75?

b) i heard the ubese shirt is a none decaying item so good for tapes, does it take armor or clothing tapes?

c) can i stack mult speed takes in 1 clothing. i heard you cant with experimentation, only the highest counts, wasent sure if that applies to this also

d) whats the highest 2 handed speed tape you have seen(if they dont stack, ima try to put the highest in my non decaying clothing)

e) i wear full comp armor, are there other places to put tapes besides a shirt. putting it in armor would be a last resort for obvious reasons.

f) got mixed answers from the doc forum on this also, if a stat mod clothing item hits a bugged number(from 0/100 fix) or just decays to 0/100, does it still work or does it just listed the bonus in your skills box but not count it?

Thanks

Can't answer them all, but:

a) Because the way the personal speed mod works, you can hit the speed mod with any weapon in the game firing any special in the game at the speed cap if you have a speed mod of 100. But that is unecessary because the average power hammer is a speed of around 5.4 and our highest delay special is 2.5, so from that you can determine that you only need a speed of 93 to hit the speed cap with any special we haveand a 5.4or faster weapon. So the most you would proabably ever need is 94 to account for slightly slower PHs.

c) you can stack use multiple SEAs (Skill Enhancing Attachements), but only if they are on different pieces of clothing. If you put two SEAs enhancing the same skill in one piece of clothing, I believe only the last one is used. But put those same SEAs in two different pieces of clothing, and you get both.

e) I thik you can wear a belt with armor. Belts can have sockets.

f) If an item decause to 0, then you lose the SEAs enhancing effects as well.
