Default Does Wild Blow Disregard Adding Sword Attribute Points?

I was looking to come up with a farming build, and looking at some skills I have, but haven't used. I was looking at the description for "Wild Blow":

Lose all Adrenaline. If it hits, this attack will be a critical hit. If Wild Blow hits, any Stance being used by your target ends. This attack cannot be "Blocked" or "Evaded"

Does this guarantee that this skill will land a max critical hit, with the max damage range of my weapon, even if I have 0 attribute points in my weapon atribute?

Yes, it will always strike as a critical hit. Assassins use it to keep up critical defenses.

Your crit will be as high as a starter sword though, if you don't meet the requirement I believe. I am not sure about it, but it would make sense.

If you don't meet the req. of your weapon it will do base dmg, for a sword thats 2-3. So if you dont put points into swords you are going to do crap dmg.

Ugh, none of you have the full of it yet.

Okay, basically, the more weapon attribute you have the better the effect of wild blow (or anything else you do with your weapon, in so long as you hit).

yeah, your weapons req, what it says in the description DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL
UNLESS you somehow magically don't meet the req.

But if you don't meet the req, then you're not a warrior anyway so there...

Anyways.
With 14 in sword, your crit will probably be less than if you have 16 in sword.

Capische?

Wild Blow does critical damage accord to how much your damage would've normally been.

pretend a Req 9 weap with 16 in swordsmanship would do 40 damage

if you had the same weap with nothing in swords, it would do like 5.

with req met and at 12 att your wep will do 100% damage.. 13-16 it scales up.. 1-11 it scales down from 100% (that's why you should have at least 12 or higher in your weapon.. the % of damage added to your attack 13-16 is'nt as significant as it is from 1-12)

hope it helps
