Increase to-hit for CA's

[RollerDog]

Do I just need to just max out skills for my current weapon (crushing) to get best to-hit on my melee CA's or do I need to max out all three skills (piercing & slashing also)?

Just crushing, your CA's are based off your current weapon skill and the skill level its at... if that makes any sense, it did to me <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>yup just crushing.</p><p>however, try to keep you slashing in par also, since you'll never know when you find a nice slashing weapon to use?</p><p>like someone said, its not nice to see this situation: yberweaponskill 10/350 <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p> ++Xan</p>

<p>Agree...you need to only have the skill your currently equipped weapon requires in order to get the max benefit from it.  </p><p>However, as soon as you DON'T max out slashing AND crushing - the most beautiful weapon you have ever seen drops, and you win it.   Then you have to spend half a day in the Commonlands hitting rhinocerii in order to skill it up so that it is worth using.</p>

Thanks for the replies -- As a melee warden, am I ever really going to use anything but crushing?

Because if you have it maxed that weapon will never drop or at least you will not win it <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

FYI, I constantly missed with my melee warden until I hit 26 or 27 cant remember. You get the spell that increases crushing, piercing, ranged and slashing of target. It made a world of difference and actually kept me from respecing my AAs. At adept III it icreases by 22 I believe.
