Okay, noted. Thanks for all the advice; it's just what I am looking for. In terms of soloing rvr, whats a better reactionary off parry, lambast or crushing blow?

If I could drop hammer down to 29 (im assuming that with 40 composite hammer, I don't lose that much damage from 50), I would like having 50 bs and 31 parry.

I think you will prolly use both. If you wanna mezz your target anytime soon, don't use lambast . Also, it's a nice combo to use crushing blow with your fast 1h and then hit the followup to that style with 2h, then switch back to 1h...deals nice dmg

Okay, thanks! I think I am going to try 50bs/31parry/29hammer at 50.

RAs I have purge, ip, and anger of the gods so far. Coming out of thid at 4L5, what should I have under my belt?

You will leave Thid with 4L2 not with 4L5 !
If you wanna do RvR purge 3 should be the way to go

almost positive but you may need 39 hammer to get max damage (always keep hammer @ 50)

so when you are rr5, you can lower it to 34.

I believe any increase in main weapon spec increases damage, so any additional points above 50 will increase your max potential damage. Its something like 9 max damage for each point you put into your main weapon spec.

Bearing in mind that you will rarely hit for max damage, the difference is not particularly noticed especially as most temps include at least +11 main weapon skill.

Also as def.pen doesn't work properly on uthgard, having low weapon skill does not affect how often you hit your enemy. Therefore people trade weapon spec and a potential of ~90 more max damage for more utility in other spec areas.

I also believe that the Wyrd spec of having 51 weapon spec only applied to dual wielders.
