Weapon speed on VKs vs. unarmed speed skill mod: How do you know how fast you really are? I have +65 unarmed speed currently. How do I calcualte my actual speed? I have a VK that has a speed of 1.5. Does my UA speed of +65 lower the 1.5 speed of the VK or what?

Skill mods in general: How does a skill mod number relate to the SWG world? Like the above speed example, how does say an unarmed toughness skill mod of +39 work?

Here's a cool website I use to see which weapon would be best for me to use:
http://killyourpc.org/swg/swg_dps.php?weapon_min=180&weapon_max=200&weapon_speed=2&pc_speed=74&class=Unarmed
Simply put in your speed mod and stats of your weapon and it gives you a damage per second rating for the weapon (this isn't absolute as it depends on the creature you are attacking but it is an accurate way to compare any VKs against the same creature). So put in as many different stats as you like to see what sort of VK will offer you the best damage output for your current speed skill

not sure how true thi sis, but from what ive read, 1 toughness +1% off melee attack
so we get a total of 57 tuoghness (at master) so thast like 57% of melee damage off before armor
swordsman get 48, and fencers get 8

If you're grinding to get to TKM, use VKs that are speed sliced to 1.5 or lower if you can.
Once you hit Master...the typical 2.2s or whatever are more than perfect to still bebeyond speedcap.

Thx for the info! I currently have a 1.5 speed 37/144 damage VK. Seems to do pretty darn well. :^)
One of the people I run with a lot called me a blender. :^D
A full set of buffs and some good brandy and I was soloing on Dant no problem. I'm so glad I toughed out the UA grind from Hell.

Heh just checked out the DPS calculator. Turns out I'm speed capped for all the specials I can use if I use a 2.2 speed VK. Time to go buy a high damage VK. :^)

One thing with the damage calculator.... Don't add in just the value of you VKs, you have to also add your unarmed damage multiplier as well, 245 at master. Which, unfortunately, that link doesn't do for you.
