Title: Weapon handling, is it really useful?
Post by: lvhoang on September 20, 2014, 06:14:16 AM

Hi,

I have ST 5 - some of the weapons I use have requirement ST 7.

However from what I read in the Wiki (http://fonline-aop.net/wiki/index.php?title=Hit_Chance), the penalty  for 2 missing points in ST (I have 5 instead of 7) is quite minimal if your combat skill (BG, SG, EW) is at 250%.

Hence my question: is Weapon Handling THAT useful? Or is there other penalty I have forgotten about (like for example, Lower Range, higher cost in action points....)?

Thank you for your help

Weapon effective range drops down, as well as you will not be able to burst-fire efficiently.

Its incredibly useful for having a flexible character.  My STR is 5 as well and I took WH so I can make full use of the SG tree (LMGs and whatnot)

It's a must have only because this game doesn't have a lot of "shut-up-and-take-my-money" (must have) perks. Like 30% of them are support-oriented, others are for negating debuffs.

Its useful to me. I have low ST and my gun was easy to be dropped by someone aiming my hands, taking WH lowered that chance to acceptable one for me.
