Hey there

Have a little question about my setup. The problem is that i dont know if I have put enough training into VA, have it at 55k now. Put my melee hits are easiely above 100k.
have AFM trained with 150k was wondering if it would be good to take some form AFM and put it into VA?

in advance thak your for the help :)

I'd recommend NOT retraining, but instead being patient and building up your VA. If you spend a few days XP only on that it'll get bigger quick enough.

If your AMF is the only thing allowing you to reach melee rounds, then you should keep pumping XP into it. VA is good for nothing if you can't reach melee rounds...

As for VA, when I train, I keep it at about 70% - 75% of my most powerful blow because that is the damage done during an average battle.

okay thaks :)

Just saw in the help page that VA should be at around the same lvl as you max hits. Is that unwise?
I mean my max now is 150k+ would that be to high to train it?

I second Jonny, don't retrain. Just save up XP instead.

The problem is you don't always hit as hard as your max blow, which is probably from your ranged attack anyway.

More often than not you'll be hitting lower, due to other people's damage reduction. If you're hitting for 150k, then a 100k VA will most likely be more than enough to get a decent VA return.

But keep an eye on your damage output. Look at your play by play after fights to get a better idea of what sort of damage you are really doing in melee. You'll probably find the VA is more than enough right now.

Just a little tip for you. Get a HoC, it will probably extend your fightlist pretty much just by equiping that one item.

Thanks to all of you...will try to a look at a HoC
