How will the +5 to weapn skill for swords & maces be converted with the new expertise skill. I did not see anything listed in the patch notes on it. It list dwarves gun specialization & Trolls Bow and throw changes but does not mention anything about the human racial for Swords and Mace skill.

Q u o t e:
It is converted to 1% critical strike.



I believe all of the racial weapon skill bonuses were changed like this.

In other words, they were all nerfed.

+Crit does little for a tank, where as weapon skill, or +hit, or even the new expertise would all be greatly superior.

Please rethink this change.


The weapon skill bonuses didn't help every class before either, but with the removal of weapon skill bonuses the critical strike chance is a good replacement and we don't have plans to change it at this time.
